Born
on December 9, 1579, in Lima, Peru, to a Spanish nobleman and formerly
Black enslaved person, Saint Martín de Porres is the patron saint of
interracial harmony. Porres entered the Dominican clergy in 1601,
although it was quite unusual at the time for someone of mixed race to
be received into the religious order. He was known for his vegetarian
lifestyle, social work and unique healing powers, and for founding a
residence in Lima for orphans and abandoned children. He died in Lima,
Peru, on November 3, 1639.
