The Killing of Father Segura and His Companions

A seventeenth-century engraving depicts the murder of a group of Spanish Jesuits on February 8, 1571. Virginia Indian Paquiquineo (also known by his baptismal name, Don Luís de Velasco) and several other Indians attacked the missionaries, using the Jesuits' own hatchets as weapons. This image was originally published in a book by Father Mathias Tanner, SJ, titled Societas Jesu Usque ad Sanguinis et Vitae Profusionem Militans (1675).
