Panels illustrating the different stages of the life of Auguste CHAPDELAINE, born in 1814 in La Rochelle Normande and became a missionary priest. He was one of the many players in the great missionary movement that animated the 19th century, deeply rooted in the countryside and where it was a question of going to plant Christian civilization wherever possible. That is why he chose China where Christianity was strongly rejected. Nicknamed Father Ma, he died a martyr on February 28, 1856, in the province of Kouang-si. His execution was the pretext for a considerable advance of colonialism in China. Beatified in 1900, his canonization in 2000 was again the reason for a conflict between the Chinese authorities and the Vatican.
