San Martin de Porres

I'd heard this saint's name, but I'd never learned anything about him.  What a beautiful person he was.  He not only took care of the ill and of children, but he also took care of, and deeply loved, animals. Here's a link to his biography.

This beautiful illustration of San Martin de Porres appeared
on Facebook.  The person that posted it was not able to give

If you know the artist, please let me know.  I would then ask
for permission to keep the painting posted on my blog, and I'd
certainly credit the artist.
