The history of Christianity in Japan gives hope for the West now. For 150 years, people lived their faith creatively without any clergy. They welcomed the Western clergy back when oppression was over. So the Japanese faith is deeper and older than this Western-styled church.

The church is beautiful. Stained glasses are breathtaking. I strongly recommend visiting this Church.

We were blessed to celebrate Mass at the beautiful Oura Church on the 4th if July. This is the oldest church in Japan and recently recognized as a World Cultural Site. Such a wonderful experience.

The oldest church in Nagasaki built in 1965 as dedication to 26 martyrs of Japan. A beautiful exterior with very much european style. It has the statue of Our Lady of Japan in front of the church. Wooden dominating interior adds the sacred feeling. It's an old painting of 26 martyrs being crucified in one side of the altar. It survived the atomic bomb blast with very much eveeything in tact except for the window glasses.
