- Title
- Our Lady of Mercy in Lima.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: OUR LADY OF MERCY IN LIMA #C-1345 LIMA, Peru -- The church of Our Lady of Mercy -- “Nuestra Senora de la Merced” -- is one of Peru’s oldest religious edifices. Its tower, belfry and facade were recently restored in their original style by the Peruvian government. The monks who built it, scions of Spanish aristocracy, are believed to have erected a hermitage in the Rimac Valley even before the founding of Lima, and they figured prominently in the city’s early history. In the cloistered garden of Our Lady is a fig tree which was planted more than 400 years ago by Friar Francisco Bobadella, one of the founders. Our Lady of Mercy is the patron saint of the Peruvian Army. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (HHS-TOR-CAN-MES-5D-6-C)
