Event that lead to first mass

Where did the people who conducted the first mass came from?

*The first mass conducted in March 1521 took place in the Philippines, specifically on the island of
Limasawa. The people who conducted this mass were Spanish explorers led by Ferdinand Magellan. The
native inhabitants of Limasawa, who were predominantly Cebuano-speaking Visayans, were the ones
who participated in this significant religious event.

Why did they conduct this?

*Conducting the first Mass was a way to symbolize the claim of these newly discovered lands for Spain
and to introduce the indigenous people of the Philippines to Christianity. While the Mass was significant
for the spread of Christianity in the Philippines, it was not specifically an Easter Sunday Mass. The
primary purpose was to mark the arrival of Spanish explorers and establish their presence in the
archipelago.
