Ratu Ilaijia Varani was a chief of Viwa, Bau Island, Tailevu in Fiji in the mid-to-late 19th century. He was a friend and the right hand of Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau. He converted to Chrstianity on Good Friday, 1845. His island of Viwa became a refuge for persecuted Christians. Varani protected early missionaries such as Reverend John Hunt and Wiliam Lyth in the early 19th century. Under his protection, Christian missionaries spread Christianity much more quickly than would have been expected.
