I took these two photos at la Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde in Montreal. This cathedral is an architectural replica of St. Peter's Basilica in 1:3 scale.
Following on recent discussion, I think some people here might find them edifying. They depict true and nearly archetypical events in the history of French-Indian relations in New France.
"24 June 1615: First sung mass, on the banks of the River of the Prairies, by the Reverend Denis Jamay."

"16-17 March 1649: Torture of the Jesuit Fathers J. de Brebeuf and G Lalemant in Huron territory."
Raoul was just mentioning something about martyrs, I believe. Note that these atrocities were committed by the Iroquois, not the Hurons. According to Wikipedia, "Brébeuf did not make a single outcry while he was being tortured and he astounded the Iroquois, who later cut out his heart and ate it in hopes of gaining his courage."
