Curriculum vitae

Ludwik Shiwozuka was born in Nagasaki, birth date is unknown. His parents were Christians. At the age of nine he began studying at the Jesuit school in Nagasaki, where he prepared for the work of the catechist, which he then performed.

Siogun Ieyasu Tokugawa On January 27, 1614, he issued an order requiring all missionaries to leave Japan during the year. It turned out that the exile also concerned Louis Shiwozuk, as a person involved in the teaching of the Catholic religion. So he went to Manila. There he decided to become a priest. After completing his studies, he was ordained a priest in 1619. He wanted to return to Japan, but he suffered serious illness. He became a Franciscan tertiary monk, began to teach Japanese missionaries to set foot in Japan, and ministered to the Japanese living in Manila. In 1636 there was another opportunity to go to our homeland. Before leaving the Philippines, he asked to be accepted into the Dominican Order.

He then went on a journey with the Dominicans: Antoni Gonzalez, Wilhelm Courtet, Michal de Aozaraza and two laymen: Ruiz Vizier and Lazarus from Kyoto on missions to Japan. At that time, persecuted Christians were persecuted in Japan. They arrived in Okinawa at the end of June, 1636. The precautionary measures taken by the arrivals were insufficient and shortly after their arrival in Japan they were caught. For over a year they were imprisoned in Okinawa. On 13 September 1637 his, William Courtet and Michael de Aozaraza in cages were taken to Nagasaki. Promising a large sum of money was trying to persuade him to renounce his faith. When that did not work, the same goal was attempted by torture. Under their influence, he said he renounced the faith, but the torturers did not hear it and continued the torture. After returning to the cell, he began to regret the moment of weakness. He no longer renounced his faith and was therefore sentenced to death. On September 27, 1637, he was taken along with other Christians on the Nishizaka hill in Nagasaki, where tsurushi was applied to him. Because he was alive for a long time, the perpetrators began to beat him on the head until he died on September 29, 1637.

He was beatified by John Paul II on February 18, 1981 in Manila, Philippines, in the group of Lawrence Ruiz and his companions. The same group of martyrs was canonized by John Paul II on October 18, 1987. Bibliography

José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

Names of streets and squares

The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S. Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives.
