"La Australia del Espiritu Santo"
(South Land of the Holy Spirit)
400 Year Anniversary, 14th May 2006.
"Let the heavens, the earth, ....and all those here present witness that I, Captain Pedro Fernandez de Quirós......in the name of Jesus Christ.... whereon He gave His life for the ransom and remedy of the human race ...on this Day of Pentecost, 14 May 1606......I take possession of all this part of the South as far as the pole in the name of Jesus.......Which from now on shall be called the Southern land of the Holy Ghost...and this always and forever ...to the end that to all the natives, in all the said lands, the holy, sacred evangel may be preached zealously and openly."
