Resumo
Segundo escritores dominicanos dos séculos XVII e XVIII, Fr. Jordão [de Évora] foi o primeiro frade dominicano português que foi para o Oriente, para aquela parte do mundo que iria estar sob o domínio do Império Português do Oriente. Foi para lá, em 1320, com um companheiro (socius) dominicano, Fr. Francisco de Pisis, e quatro frades franciscanos. O martírio de Fr. Jordão, em Taná, é descrito com tópicos neotestamentários, colhidos da Paixão de Cristo e do martírio de Estêvão, o Proto-Mártir. Depois da morte dele, os habitantes da região fizeram uma estátua de madeira com a sua efígie e adoraram-na até à chegada dos Portugueses àquela parte da Índia. Então, Fr. Aleixo de Setúbal, Prior de S. Domingos de Chaúl, levou-a para o seu Convento,onde continuou a ser venerada.
According to Portuguese Dominican writers of the 17th and 18th centuries, Fr. Jordan (Jordanus) [of Évora] was the first Portuguese Dominican friar to go East, to that part of the world which would later be under the rule of the Eastern Portuguese Empire. He went there, in 1320, with a Dominican companion (Socius), Fr. Francis of Pisis, and four Franciscan friars. The martyrdom of Fr. Jordan, in Tana, is described in New Testament terms, drawn from the Passion of Christ and the martyrdom of Stephen, the Protomartyr. After his death, the inhabitants of the region made a statue in wood with his effigy which they worshiped until the Portuguese reached that part of India. The Prior of St. Dominic of Chaul, Fr. Aleixo of Setúbal, then took it into his Priory, where it continued to be venerated.
