It was only eight days after her death that the church began to accumulate evidence that would determine her canonization. Don gonzalo de la maza"s testimony was particularly important evidence in ensuring her canonization. He was a bookkeeper to the tribunal of the santa cruzada who made his home a haven for local people of piety and devotion, taking in santa rosa (then known as isabel flores de oliva). She was the creole daughter of a noble spanish family in the city. This frightened rosa so much that she became deeply pious. So pious that she began to see the spirits of her grandmother and her older sister, both of whom had died.
