It is 400 years since the birth of the saint brother Pedro of San José de Betancur, born in the Canary Islands in 1626, whose work was carried out in Guatemala. This celebration has inspired different activities dedicated to the saint, such as the one organized by the Cultural Center of Antigua Guatemala.
“Holy Brother Peter: The Man Who Was Charity” is a tour designed to discover the life and work of the first Canarian-Guatemalan Saint, whose heritage continues to guide the heart of our community, organizers say.
The exhibition shows different images and reflections about the life of the saint.
Brother Pedro of San José de Betancur was proclaimed a saint on Tuesday, July 30, 2002, before more than 700 thousand faithful, in an unprecedented ceremony and with the presence of Pope John Paul II.
