Who is St Peter Chanel?
St. Peter Chanel was a catholic French priest and martyr who lived from 1803 to 1841. From a young age, he had wanted to become a missionary, so in 1831 he joined the then newly formed Society of Mary (Marists) to go to the foreign missions. He traveled and preached mainly in Oceania, visited several islands, and eventually ended up on Futuna in 1837. The king of the island became unhappy with the missionaries when they learned enough of the local language to start preaching in it, because he was afraid that his position, which involved some claims of divinity, would be threatened. The breaking point was when the king's son wanted to be baptized. The king sent one of his soldiers to kill St. Peter Chanel, and he was clubbed to death with an axe. Interestingly, the king eventually converted to Catholicism himself before he died. St. Peter Chanel was made a saint in 1954 and his feast day is April 28.
Why people wear clothes for cultural reasons?
Historical and archaeological research has shown that while nudity itself never was much of an issue in ancient cultures, people started dressing for practical reasons: as cover against the sun, to protect themselves from scratches while working in the field, to protect themselves against cold or to show off their status. The only people who started dressing for 'cultural' reasons were the inhabitants of places like the Pacific islands, African regions and several East Asian territories when 19th century missionaries told their converts that 'covering you nakedness' was a Christian requirement because of Adam's fall from grace. Especially the South Pacific converts died in droves after putting on clothes: when still naked, they would get wet during the many Pacific rainstorms, but dry quickly afterwards. After donning clothes, these clothes would remain wet much longer and this caused widespread pneumonia, for which there was no cure until after WW 2. Pneumonia became the major cause of death there for many decades.
