Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint, is a beacon of hope and a symbol of unwavering faith. He fled to Japan in 1636 to avoid religious persecution but Lorenzo Ruiz and his companions were martyred by crucifixion in Nagasaki, Japan on September 28, 1637. Their steadfast faith and sacrifice made them martyrs of the Catholic Church. He is now venerated as the patron saint of the Philippines and Filipinos worldwide, and his life serves as an inspiration for those facing religious persecution and adversity. His feast day is the day he was martyred, September 28.
