    Site of The First Mass

    Uploaded by

    Kim Arielle Garcia
    The document discusses the site of the first Catholic mass in the Philippines, which was held on March 31, 1521 in either Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte or Butuan in Mindanao. It provides evidence from historical accounts to support both potential locations, including references made by Pigafetta and other chroniclers, as well as geographical features mentioned. There is still controversy over whether the first mass was indeed celebrated in Limasawa Island or Butuan. The document does not make a definitive conclusion.

    TIMELINE
    1872
    A monument to commemorate the
    site of first mass on the
    Philippines was erected in
    Butuan.

    1953
    1953
    The people in Butuan asked the
    Philippine Historical Committee
    to rehabilitate the monument or
    place a marker on the site.
    Zaide identified Masao in Butuan
    as the location of the first mass.
    LIMASAWA

    BASIS
    JAIME DE VEYRA STATED THAT
    THE FIRST MASS WAS
    CELEBRATED IN LIMAWASA NOT
    IN BUTUAN.
    HISTORIAN PABLO PASTELLS
    STATING BY THE FOOTNOTE TO
    FRANCISCO COLIN’S LABOR
    EVANGELICA THAT MAGELLAN DID
    NOT GO TO BUTUAN BUT FORM
    LIMASAWA TO CEBU.
    FRANCISCO ALBO
    pilot of Magellan’s flagship does
    not mention the first mass but he
    writes that they erected a cross on
    a mountain which overlooked three
    islands the west and the southwest.
    James Robertson agreed with Pastells in a
    footnote that “Mazua” was actually
    Limasawa.

    in the authentic account of Pigafetta, the


    port was not in Butuan but an island named
    Mazua ( Masawa)

    Father Bernard studied all the Pigafetta’s


    maps, which place in Mazau off the
    southern tip of the larger island of
    Leyte.
