The first mass was held on Limasawa Island in the Philippines. During the mass, the Spanish captain sprinkled the two native kings with musk water before mass. The kings worshipped during mass but did not take communion. After mass, a fencing tournament was held and the captain explained Christianity to the kings. The first baptism occurred in Cebu where the native ruler Rajah Humabon and over 800 people, including Queen Johanna, were baptized after burning their idols and erecting a cross.
