Mother Jerónima de la Fuente
Mother Jerónima de la Fuente was a 17th-century Spanish nun known for her remarkable journey as a founder of the first convent in the Philippines. At the age of 66, she was painted by Diego Velázquez in a portrait that showcased her formidable character as she embarked on a mission to spread her faith across the Spanish Empire. Her life was marked by devotion and physical penance, and she played a crucial role in establishing the presence of Catholicism in the Far East before her death ten years later.
