This work investigates how indigenous populations in the Philippines navigated and reinterpreted Catholic devotional practices during the initial centuries of Spanish colonial rule. Christina H. Lee, a scholar specializing in early modern Iberian and colonial studies, utilizes archival records and historical accounts to analyze the intersection of religious imposition and local agency. The book argues that the adoption of saint veneration was not a passive process but a complex negotiation that allowed Filipinos to maintain cultural continuity while operating within a new imperial framework.
