San Lorenzo Ruiz

The first Filipino saint was a mestizo de sangley (mixed Chinese and Filipino), and I want to honor that by dressing him in a plain camisa de chino (left, collarless shirt with round neck; part of his traditional iconography) and also in a variant of the barong Tagalog that borrows elements from the Tangzhuang. His rosary has the Dominican cross because he was a lay brother under the Dominicans.

San Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Binondo, Manila, site of the city's Chinatown. In 1636, after being accused of murdering a Spaniard, he sought refuge with Dominican missionaries and went with them to Japan. In Nagasaki, they endured horrific torture including waterboarding and denailing in an effort to coerce them to renounce their faith. Finally, they were put through the tsurushi, a Japanese torture technique in which the victim is hung upside-down in a hole filled with sewage. Two days of this torture, and he refused to recant. His last words were:

I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for God;

Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him shall I offer.

Cardinal Tagle sings "Sanlibong Buhay" (A Thousand Lives), composed by Jandi Arboleda and Father Manoling Francisco, SJ.

Saintify Headcannons #3 :

Johnny and James were engaged in a heated argument, with Kat attempting to mediate. Maria and Cecilia were indulging in manicures and pedicures while Lorenzo and Anna enjoyed a special father-daughter moment. Meanwhile, Pete felt a sense of displacement as he couldn't quite determine where he belonged. Consequently, he often turned to sleep as an escape from this feeling of confusion.

Saint Lorenzo Ruiz

1600-1637

Feast Day: September 28

Patronage: Filipino youth, the Philippines, overseas workers, altar servers

Saint Lorenzo Ruiz was born in the Philippines and was a happily married family man who joined the Dominican Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary. He was accused of murder and fled on a Dominican mission ship to Japan. At that time, the rulers of Japan were persecuting Christians, so they were arrested, tortured unbearably for 2 years and died by the “gallows and pit”. In 1983, St. Lorenzo, the first Filipino saint and martyr, was canonized by Pope John Paul II after a 2-year-old girl was miraculously cured of hydrocephaly.

A Catholic friend recommended St Lorenzo, bestie to the Philippines, to me

yay more diversity!!! St Lorenzo Ruiz is a Filipino saint!! Gladly adding him to the list - but he'll need more votes if he's going to make it to the post schism bracket!

so... it was valentine's day a while ago, in honor of which i've drawn a bunch of OCs and inspired chocolates 友チョコ /tomochoko/. there is this tradition in japan (sort of reversed, i guess), when girls buy their sweetheart boys chocolate bars as a sign of love. however, since there's also a huge percentage of those who are forever alone™️ ///that's meee/// out there, the tradition kinda evolved into a bff-friendly concept called 友チョコ or tomochoko aka 'chocolate for a friend'. it's said that it's mostly girls who give tomochoko to their female besties, but whatever.

anyways, someone new to get to know!

andrés sandoval-fusco: lorenzo's unfortunate situationship. certified asshole and professional victim. since he was rejected by his ex, is currently into federico, milking the hell out of this bad romance as a form of rage bait. half italian (mom is from naples, campania), half spanish (dad came from cordoba, andalusia). easily identified on a whatever crime scene by a very specific signature long-lasting perfume. doormat is one of his nicknames, btw (pisses him off all the time).

enrique diego quiroga: argentinean born and raised. outstandingly gifted musician and singer (keyboard is his instrument of choice). makes both vintage and contemporary music. keen on soccer, loves rice pudding, smokes pipe, spends 99,99% of time in his hammock. keeps his good friend's skull with its teeth shining bright like diamonds (fr!) as a memorabilia of good time they had together... 5'6'', smol af (in comparison to any other OC of mine).

jeronimo ruiz: alejandro's childhood companion (both are from colombia). originally is from santuario, risaralda, but visited alejandro in his mansion in medellín quite often. actually, son of a coffee farm owner, hence has extensive knowledge of specialty coffee. got into miguel's domain together with alejandro and since then accepted the job of taking care of miguel's jaguar and running cross-border errands. speaks both spanish and english on a native level. tries to keep himself aside from murrica as much as he can.

Madrid : Pas de toros pour la confirmation de José Ruiz Muñoz, vuelta pour Alvaro Lorenzo

Ce Dimanche, les arènes de Las Ventas accueillaient la confirmation d’alternative du sévillan José Ruiz Muñoz. A la base du cartel, on devait retrouver un desafio ganadero entre Vellosino et Los Bayones, mais cette dernière ganaderia a été remplacé par trois toros de différentes ganaderias. Un mélange avec “ce qu’il reste” qui n���a pas donné de grandes satisfactions en piste. 📺 Gritos de ‘toro,…

“Five Saints Saga”

The story follows Pietro, with no memory of his past, washes ashore where he is taken in by a group of unique individuals blessed with elemental powers and supernatural abilities. He meets James and John, the lively pranksters, Miss M, the astute debater, Cecilia, the reserved and insightful "flower," Kateri, the serious older sister, Maria, the witty illiterate, and Anna Wang, the introverted Chinese girl with limited speech. Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, a devoted Asian couple, Pietro begins his journey with this eclectic group.

Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, an Asian couple with strong parental instincts, Pietro embarks on a journey with The group. During a late night walk, one of the Black Seven, Elvire Sven, abducts Anna for sinister intentions. Vira Tsavf, leader of the Black Seven, harbors secret aspirations to rule over the Five Flags. Amidst their quest, the group experiences sporadic moments of "consciousness blackouts," hinting at their forgotten pasts. The prophecy foretells that the Five Saints will overthrow the Black Seven, and light shall prevail against the darkness. As the prophecy unfolds, Pietro and the others prepare to face the formidable Black Seven, all while uncovering their lost memories. In the gripping narrative, Lady Cecilia foresees the emergence of the nine new heroes who will be christened *The Five Saints*. Armed with elemental powers reflective of their individual personalities, they embark on a mission to rescue Anna Wang, dethrone the Black Seven, and establish a base of operations from which to wage a war against the forces of darkness. The question looms. Can Pietro and his companions harness the power of light to overthrow the shadow looming over their world?
