EDITORS COMMENTS
Francisco Javier, a Spanish Jesuit missionary, calls the children of Goa, India, to attend church in this evocative image from 1542. The photograph, captured from an original painting, offers a glimpse into the rich history of religious missionary work in Asia. The scene unfolds in the bustling port city of Goa, then a Portuguese colony, where the influx of European influence had begun to reshape the cultural landscape. Javier, dressed in the distinctive black robe and white collar of the Jesuit Order, stands at the entrance of a simple stone church, his arms outstretched and his eyes filled with a fervent determination. The children, clad in various stages of undress, respond to his call, their curious gazes fixed on their charismatic leader. The arrival of European missionaries in India marked a significant turning point in the region's religious history. The introduction of Christianity, along with other Western religions and ideas, would shape the course of Indian society for centuries to come. This photograph, with its poignant depiction of the encounter between the missionary and the children, serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact that religious ideologies and cultural exchange have had on the world. The image also highlights the tireless efforts of missionaries like Francisco Javier, who dedicated their lives to spreading the teachings of their faith and bridging the gap between different cultures. As they journeyed through unfamiliar lands, these intrepid explorers played a crucial role in shaping the course of history, leaving an indelible mark on the religious and cultural landscapes of Asia and beyond.
