'''Saint Lorenzo Ruiz''' (born c. 1594, died 29 September 1637) was a [[Saints|Filipino saint]], layman, and martyr, revered as the first Filipino saint and protomartyr of the Philippines. Born in Binondo, Manila, to a Chinese father and Filipino mother, he was raised Catholic, educated by Dominicans, and joined the Third Order of Saint Dominic. Falsely accused of murder, he fled to Japan in 1636 with Dominican missionaries, where he faced persecution during the Tokugawa shogunate’s anti-Christian campaign. Tortured and executed in Nagasaki, he died professing his faith, declaring, “Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him shall I offer.” Beatified on 18 February 1981 by Pope John Paul II in Manila, he was canonized on 18 October 1987 in Rome. His relics are venerated in Binondo Church, Manila, and he is honored in the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions.<ref name="web1">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_Ruiz</ref><ref name="web5">https://www.vaticannews.va/en/saints/09/28/sts--lorenzo-ruiz-and-companions--martyrs.html</ref><ref name="web8">https://saintlorenzo.org/</ref> | '''Saint Lorenzo Ruiz''' (born c. 1594, died 29 September 1637) was a [[Saints|Filipino saint]], layman, and martyr, revered as the first Filipino saint and protomartyr of the Philippines.
