Even so, his mother begged the Church fathers to allow him into the priesthood. Instead, Martin was accepted as a servant boy. But soon, the young man was performing miracles. Rumors began to fly around the city of a strange mulatto boy with healing hands, who gave first to the people of the barrios. Martin continued to serve in the Church, until he was finally received by the Dominican Order, no longer called the worthless son of a slave, but rather a saint and the Rose in the Desert."With images of surpassing beauty and power and a text both simple and lyrical, Diaz and Schmidt tell the life of the first black saint of the Americas . . . A visual--and, it must be said, spiritual--delight."--Kirkus Review Share your knowledge of this product. Be the first to write a review »
