Opukaha'ia bridged the idol worship of the Pacific with the Christianity of the Atlantic. It is a story of suffering, pain and death. But it is also a story of healing, renewal and joyous faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpukaha'ia's amazing story is an important part of Hawaiian and American history.
