Christian mythology

A selection of Christian Martyrs, Hermits & Virgins

St. PETER CHANEL

Christian Saint

Missionary and Martyr

He was sent to the somewhat fictional-sounding Island of Futuria in the New Hebrides. There he baptized the king’s son.

The king was not at all happy about this and Peter got the lethal chop. Yet a year later the whole island had converted to Christianity.

We have no idea what the king thought about that.
