St. Francis Xavier relics

A public display of relics tied to St. Francis Xavier, the Jesuit missionary who exported Christianity to Japan in the 16th century, began Saturday in Old Goa, a historic city in the former Portuguese colony that is now part of India.

Xavier was born in 1506 in Xavier, in the Kingdom of Navarre, now part of Spain. While the Jesuit undertook most of his missionary work in India, he also took his evangelical mission to Japan and other Asian countries.

He landed in what is now the city of Kagoshima in 1549 and spent two years there preaching the gospel.

In 1552, Xavier died in China, where he had intended to carry on his missionary work. His remains were later buried in Goa, then a Portuguese colony. He was beatified in 1619

His right hand was cut off the mummified corpse located in Old Goa, India in 1614 and kept in Rome.

Shortly after the first exhibition of the corpse, a Portugese woman bit off one of the Saint's big toes. The toe is now in a silver reliquary in another cathedral in Goa. One of St. Francis Xavier's (diamond-encrusted) fingernails is on display in a nearby village and his left hand is in Japan.
