Frei Galvão

Painting by an unknown painter, {{circa|1850}} Anthony of St. Ann Galvão, O.F.M. (''Antônio de Sant'Anna Galvão''; 13 May 1739 – 23 December 1822 ), commonly known in Brazil as Frei Galvão, was a Brazilian friar of the Franciscan Order.

One of the best-known religious figures in colonial Brazil, renowned for his healing powers, Galvão was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on 11 May 2007, becoming the first Brazilian-born saint. He was the second Brazilian to be proclaimed a saint by the Catholic Church. Provided by Wikipedia
