St. JOHN OF BRITTO
Christian Saint
Also known as Arul Anandar, João De Brito
Jesuit Missionary and Martyr who went off to India to convert the Hindus

Hmmm. Baptism goes down well. Mostly thanks to the sacred Ganges River.

What’s gone wrong? I can’t understand why I am in prison under a death sentence...
