Peril and martyrdom mark Felipe's Mission in Nagasaki
The account recounts Felipe IVes, aka Felipe, and companions sent from Manila via Arado to Japan amid Taikosama's crackdown. After typhoons and shipwreck near Osaka and Miako, Felipe joins a Christian community, faces arrest, and is crucified in Nagasaki. Canonized in 1862, his story contrasts with St Gabriel Possenti's quieter life and uneven book portrayal.
