Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: The two-day celebrations, which are to start Saturday with the official ordination, are set in Port Vila's largest open ground, the Independence Park. Vanuatu's linguistic and religious legacy is strongly related to the presence of missionaries who early last century were among the first permanent white settlers in these islands.
