The exact area of the First Easter Mass in the Philippines turned into a dubious

issue that began in


the nineteenth century. As indicated by Antonio Pigafetta, the First Easter Mass
occurred on March 31,
1521. Raia Colambu and Raia Siaui joined in and was submersed during a mass
facilitated by the
Spaniards. After the mass, a cross was punctured at the highest point of a slope.
The character of this spot
which Pigafetta called "Mazaua" turned into a religious contest. Two antagonistic
investigations gave
more than two distinct destinations: (1) The Butuan in Agusan del Norte; (2) The
Limasawa Island in
Leyte.

A few notable people contended that it was heldin Butuan City. The Butuan case
incorporates the
practice and a landmark that was amassed close to Agusan River in 1872 -which
turned out to be at the
removal of Butuan's limit and the momentum city of Magallanes. The landmark was
supposed to be
raised to celebrate the First Easter Mass in the Philippines which occurred on the
eighth of April 1521
(The Manila Times, 2019). On the off chance that you prove this with Pigafetta's
portrayal, there would
be an error on the date given. Accordingly, Butuan hypothesis has gone through
enormous alteration on
data that can be found in progress of various scholars like Francisco Colin,
Francisco Combes, and Carlo
Amoretti. Because of this whimsical and deficient number of confirmations
introduced on the Butuan
case, I, consequently, infer that the first-since forever Easter Mass on the nation
was held in the island of

Limasawa.
