Marsden was instrumental in starting the Christian missions to New Zealand, where he and others were well received among the Maori people. He is credited with holding the first Christian service in the Islands on Christmas Day in 1814. Marsden is thus remembered favourably in New Zealand, and it is believed he is the one who introduced sheep to the islands.

The Reverend Samuel Marsden was born in Yorkshire in 1764. After he was ordained in 1793, he sailed for the new penal colony of New South Wales, arriving on 10 March 1794. He settled in Parramatta, becoming Chaplain, landowner and magistrate. He also earned a reputation as the "Flogging Parson", because even by the standards of his day, he inflicted extremely severe, cruel punishments. His savagery to convicts was probably the result of his hatred for Roman Catholics, as many convicts were political prisoners of Irish origin. Despite his reputation in Australia, Marsden was instrumental in starting the Christian missions to New Zealand, where he and others were well received among the Maori people. He is credited with holding the first Christian service in the Islands on Christmas Day in 1814. Marsden is thus remembered favourably in New Zealand, and it is believed he is the one who introduced sheep to the islands.

Samuel Marsden preached his first sermon (said) at Oihi Bay, Northland, New Zealand. The next question is...what was the effect of that sermon?
25th December 1814:New Zealand's first Christian Service?At Oihi Beach in the Bay of Islands, Samuel Marsden preached in English to a largely Māori gathering, launching the Christian missionary phase of New Zealand history.Marsden's service was translated by the Ngāpuhi leader Ruatara. The two men had first met in Port Jackson (Sydney) in 1809. In 1814 Marsden sent Thomas Kendall to consult Ruatara about establishing a Church Missionary Society (CMS) mission at Rangihoua. Ruatara became the patron of the first Christian mission established in New Zealand, making it known to all that he was the protector and patron of 'his Pakeha' - the CMS missionaries Marsden, Kendall, John King and William Hall, who had now arrived in New Zealand.It is the possible, though, that the French may have beaten the CMS to the altar some 45 years earlier. On Christmas Day 1769 the French explorer Jean François Marie de Surville and his crew were in Doubtless Bay in the Far North. On board the Saint Jean Baptiste was a Dominican priest, Paul-Antoine de Villefeix. While no records survive, it seems highly likely that such an important Catholic festival would have been celebrated with a mass. In the absence of hard evidence, New Zealand's English colonial traditions have favoured Marsden's claim to fame.Hope this helps!:D

Christmas started in New Zealand with some of the early explorers. Abel Tasman and his crew enjoyed a Christmas feast using their own provisions in 1642, while James Cook and his crew also had Christmas dinner while circumnavigating New Zealand in 1769.However, the first Christmas service in New Zealand occurred when Reverend Samuel Marsden preached on Christmas Day in 1814.

One of the customs of New Zealand is to bring a small gift when you visit someone's home. Another custom is afternoon tea. It is also customary to use first names and to avoid the use of titles.
