    The document discusses the first mass in the Philippines, which according to two historians, Fr. Francisco Colin S.J. and Fr. Pablo Pastells S.J., took place in Butuan on Easter Sunday, April 8, 1521. It was officiated by Ferdinand Magellan. The document also notes that a monument was later erected in Butuan in 1872 to commemorate the site of the first mass. It provides details from Colin's 17th century account of Magellan's arrival and the mass in Butuan from his work "Labor Evangelica". Another Jesuit writer, Fr. Francisco Combes, gave a different version of the route taken by Magellan.

    THE BUTUAN TRADITION

    Two historians:
    Fr. Francisco Colin S.J. – Labor Evangelica published in
    Madrid in 1663

    Fr. Pablo Pastells S.J. (Madrid, 1903)


    THE BUTUAN TRADITION
    The monument was a brick pillar on which was a marble
    slab that contained an inscription translated as follows:
    “To the immortal Magellan: the people of Butuan with
    their Parish Priest and the Spaniards resident therein , to
    commemorate his arrival and the celebration of the First
    Mass on this site on the 8th of April 1521. Erected in 1872,
    under the District Governor Jose Ma. Carvallo”
    In 17th Century
    Colin’s Account of Magellan’s Arrival and of the
    mass:
    “At the end of 3 months and 12 days during which they traversed 4,
    000 leagues, having crossed the equator a second time, they climbed
    up to 15 degrees North latitude where they came upon two islands
    which they named Las Velas (the Sails). At 12 degrees North they
    came upon the Ladrones Islands. A few days later they saw the Island
    of Ibabao (Samar) in this Archipelago. But the first island they
    touched at was Humunu, a small inhabited island near Guiuan point…
    to that and other islets they gave the name of Buenas Senas (Good
    Omen) but to the entire Archipelago they gave the name San Lazaro,
    being the Saturday of Saint Lazarus’ Sunday of Lent of the year 1521.
    On Easter Day, in the territory of Butuan, the First mass ever
    offered in these parts was celebrated and a cross planted. Magellan
    then took formal possession of the Islands in the name of the Emperor
    and of the Crown of Castille.
    The man who gave the most signal service to our men
    was the chief of Dimasaua, relative to the chief of
    Butuan and of that of Zebu, wither he led the armada,
    which entered that harbor at noon of the 7 th of April ,
    the Octave of Easter”.
