I assume post #6062 is St Martin de Porres.
He's a mixed race saint from the 16th century.

Quote:
In iconography, Martin de Porres is often depicted as a young mulatto friar (he was a Dominican brother, not a priest, as evidenced by the black scapular and capuce he wears, while priests of the Dominican order wear all white) with a broom, since he considered all work to be sacred no matter how menial. He is sometimes shown with a dog, a cat and a mouse, eating in peace from their dish.
Or Obama of course.
