About : Missionary Day is observed to commemorate the arrival of the Christian missionaries. French Polynesia is a collection of over 100 islands and atolls in the South Pacific Ocean. Most of the major colonial powers explored the various islands and the islander's first encounter with Christian missionaries. In March 1797, protestant missionaries from the London Missionary Society (LMS) arrived and established a permanent presence in Polynesia with the intention of spreading Christianity across the world.
