The feast of St. Rose of Lima, the first saint of the Americas. The day is observed with a pilgrimage to the shrine of Santa Rosa de Lima in Lima, and the tradition is to throw letters into the wishing well (Santa Rosa is the patron saint of impossible causes). The day is both celebration and devotion, and the shrine is visited by thousands of people every year.
You observe Siberian tigers, Amur leopards, and sable across Russia's vast territories. You find that Russian families typically keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as their most common pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
