Description
Summary:In the mid and late seventeenth century, many Spanish Franciscans arrived in China. In 1676, Agustín de San Pascual and Pedro de la Piñuela evangelized in rural areas of Ningde, Fujian. During his stay in Makeng, a tiger broke into that town and caused panic among the population. A boy accused Piñuela of having performed an eccentric ritual in front of the town’s temple. The villagers then believed that the malicious sect spread by the two foreigners had driven out the god’s spirit from the temple, depriving the people of asylum and incurring the arrival of the tiger. On that night, the angry villagers nearly killed the Fathers. Later these two survived with the help of local scholars and believers. This work analyzes, based on this incident, according to the letters and reports left by the Franciscans, the difficulties of the first Spanish Franciscans who evangelized in rural Chinese areas as well as their solutions.
