Manresa





Kevin Davison researched the small town of Manresa in Catalonia which he found to have a "very depressing Jewish history." He discovered that "Even before the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition in 1478 there was aggression towards the Jews by the Christians." He also discovered that like Loyola and Javier, this town has a special connection to St. Ignatius of Loyola.
