Historical Evolution of Christianity in Nepal-2

In that house, Capuchin Fathers ran a Christian Center. Patan's king Rajya Prakash Malla also provided a house and garden at Ragat Hiti to Capuchin Fathers. The king also allowed them to preach the Gospel. In 1745, the Christians were expelled from Lhasa (capital of Tibet). They came to the Kathmandu Valley for refuge. In this situation, Bhaktapur Province's king Ranjit Malla sent a letter to the Pope in 1742, which was answered by the Pope. But his reply was not received until three years later in 1745. The refugees were provided shelter and protection for the sake of humanity and its culture of welcoming visitors. But it was very crucial time too, as Nepal had the political relation with Tibet due to the trade and business between in between. Thus; the first half on the 17^{th century gives us very important records of the growth of Christianity in Nepal.}
