Archdiocese of Antananarivo is a Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Madagascar. It is based in the capital city of Antananarivo. The archdiocese was, for many years, one the bases for the spreading of Catholicism in Madagascar and the surrounding French Indian Ocean territories like Reunion, Comoros and others. What is now the Archdiocese of Antananarivo was founded as the Prefecture Apostolic of Madagascar in 1841 out of the Diocese of Saint-Denis-de-La Reunion in La Reunion. It was influential in the spreading of Christianity on Madagascar, despite what became known as "ny tany maizina", or "the time when the land was dark." It was a time of absolute persecution of any Malagasy that converted to Christianity and it is estimated that 150,000 Christians died then. Seven years later in 1848, the name was changed to the Vicariate Apostolic of Madagascar.
