Fray Juan de Salas was a Spanish Franciscan friar who provided religious instruction to the people of New Mexico and what is now Texas in the first half of the seventeenth century. ==Isleta== In 1622 Juan de Salas came to New Mexico with Alonso de Benavides. He became a missionary at the San Agustín de la Isleta Mission in Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico, just south of the modern city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fray Salas erected the "convent" of Isleta, probably around 1629 or 1630. In the late 1620s the mission was visited by Jumano Indians from a region further south and east of Albuquerque. The visiting natives reported that they had been visited by a "Woman in Blue", and she had told them to ask for religious instruction. Some say the Jumanos were mainly interested in gaining protection from Apaches. At that time, the nun María de Ágreda was living in a convent in Ágreda, in Spain, and was known for falling into ecstatic trances. Between 1620 and 1623, she often said she was "transported by the aid of the angels" to settlements of people called Jumanos, and these reported visits continued in subsequent years, although less often. In 1629 the friars at Isleta received an inquiry from Spain about whether the Indians had reported visitations by a nun, and they immediately identified the "Woman in Blue" with María de Agreda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juan de Salas (friar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
