EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Saint Francois Xavier preaching Christianity in Japan. The engraving, taken from the book "History and Description of Japan" by Pere de Charlevoix, showcases the missionary's efforts to spread the teachings of Christ in this distant land. The image portrays Saint Francois Xavier as he passionately addresses a group of Japanese individuals, his words filled with conviction and faith. Dressed in traditional religious attire, he stands tall amidst a backdrop that reflects the unique cultural elements of Japan. The engraving beautifully illustrates the encounter between Western Christianity and Eastern traditions. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that missionaries like Saint Francois Xavier had on bridging different cultures through their evangelization efforts. Dating back to 1852, this historical artifact is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable record of religious exchange during this period. Preserved within a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into an era when religion played a pivotal role in shaping societies across continents. Through this photograph by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back in time to witness one man's unwavering dedication to spreading Christian teachings beyond borders. It serves as both an homage to Saint Francois Xavier's holy mission and as a testament to the enduring power of faith throughout history.
