The rosary is associated with St. Lorenzo Ruiz because he was a devout Catholic who often prayed the rosary. It is considered a symbol of his deep faith and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Lorenzo believed in the power of the rosary to bring comfort and protection, and it played a significant role in his spiritual life.
I can find no name for the wife of St. Lorenzo Ruiz.
