Francis Xavier’s body, found to be undecayed …
Years: 1553 - 1553
Francis Xavier’s body, found to be undecayed after two months of burial, is later returned to Malacca and in December 1553 arrives to Goa (where it now rests).
Xavier gains posthumous renown as the Apostle of the Indies and of Japan.
Otomo Yoshishige, the daimyo of Bungo, has meanwhile requested that the Portuguese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto return to Japan, and offers to convert to Christianity.
The letter arrives at the same time as Xavier's body is being displayed in Goa.
Pinto is to accompany the mission.
