The church at the 26 Martyrs Museum in Nagasaki is named after San Felipe de Jesus, OFM, who came from Mexico City.
Felipe de las Casas tried and left the Franciscan order.
Felipe de las Casas tried and left the Franciscan order.
His was a reluctant vocation, but after attending to family business interests in the Philippines for a time, he entered the order again, and began his studies for the priesthood. He was then required to set out for Mexico to be ordained, but a storm blew the ship off course, and it foundered on a Japanese shore.
The timing of the shipwreck was unfortunate, for soon thereafter, the government decided to enforce its laws against anyone being Catholic, and religious members of the ship were taken to Nagasaki for execution.
Executions were conducted by having the condemned stand on a cross beam,. Their arms were secured by manacles on another beam, and an iron collar held them against the upright pole.
They were then speared through both sides of their chest, and death came quickly. The beam Felipe was standing on broke, and he was choking from the iron collar.
The order for his immediate execution was given, thus he became the first martyr for the faith in Japan, and Mexico’s first martyr. On June 8, 1862, Pope Pius IX declared him a saint - Mexico’s first. Today he is the patron saint of Mexico City.

Wow! Trump's vile rhetoric has certainly taken hold here in Brownsville. It's probably the same asshole, but if not, all three of you are weak minded Trumpanzees with nothing to offer here. You should move up north and quit suffering down here where you're kind don't belong. Losers.

That is a story I have never heard. He was a man much to be admired and respected. That aside, the other commentators on this post are some form of cretins, having no respect for a man who gave his life for a cause he believed in.
Texas Monthly drops Lucio to ‘furniture’ roster
BY EMMA PEREZ-TREVIÑO/The Brownsville Herald | Posted Jun 5, 2009
In rating lawmakers following the Texas Legislature's 81st session, Texas Monthly dropped state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. from its "worst" legislators list and placed him on its "furniture" roster.
According to the Austin-based magazine's July issue, the term "furniture" refers to the least consequential lawmakers who have a low level of participation, rendering them indistinguishable from their desks and chairs.
Lucio made the worst list in 1997, 2003 and 2007. In 2001, he was recognized for the "Most Dubious Argument."
The magazine has issued the "Best and Worst" lists since 1973. Magazine Senior Executive Editor Paul Burka and writer-at-large Patricia Kilday Hart compiled the ratings this year.
"and that is the gospel truth," the senator added."
Lucio indicated that he made the list because, " I don't care never have and never will."
Actually, Hart covered the Senate and Burka covered the House of Representatives. "I stand behind Patty's judgment on this," Burka said. "There is not a day that we were not covering the Senate," Burka said.
While Lucio has been dropped from the worst list "some members think it's worse to be on the furniture list," Burka said.
