Who was St. Martin de Porres? Martin de Porres was a 17th-century Peruvian Dominican brother remembered for charitable work, care of the sick and concern for animals. In Catholic tradition he is associated with humility, service, racial harmony and care for the poor, and is also widely regarded as a patron saint of animals. The broom commonly shown with him refers to the humble work he performed in the monastery, while animals frequently appear in devotional images connected with stories of his kindness toward them.
