San Pablo Miki y Compañeros Martires de Japon Febrero 6
Llegado a este momento final de mi existencia en la tierra, seguramente que ninguno de ustedes va a creer que me voy a atrever a decir lo que no es cierto. Les declaro pues, que el mejor camino para conseguir la salvación es pertenecer a la religión cristiana, ser católico.
Te Deum laudamus (26 Martyrs of Japan)
February 6th is the Memorial of Saint Paul Miki and Company, the 26 Martyrs of Japan. These first martyrs of Japan were arrested and then forced to march the 600 miles from Kyoto to Nagasaki. It is said that they sung the Te Deum the entire way, and one witness's account reports them singing it immediately before their crucifixion.
Te Deum is a hymn of praise, thought to have been written in the 4th century. This is only the first portion of the hymn.
Te Deum laudámus: te Dóminum confitémur. Te ætérnum Patrem omnis terra venerátur. Tibi omnes Angeli, tibi Cæli et univérsæ Potestátes: Tibi Chérubim et Séraphim incessábili voce proclámant: Sanctus: Sanctus: Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth. Pleni sunt cæli et terra majestátis glóriæ tuæ.
We praise Thee, O God, we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting. To Thee all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein. To Thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Thy glory.

The history of Christianity in Nagasaki, Japan, spans 450 years and is one that deserves to be shared with the world. Entering Japan through Nagasaki, it flourished here more than any other places in the country.
Christianity survived despite a nationwide ban imposed in 1587.
After the lifting of the ban, Christianity flourished once again in the open.
Today, Nagasaki is a destination for many Christian pilgrims as it is home to the largest number of churches in Japan.

[ACM] Christianity in Asia: Martyrdom of Nagasaki, 1622
#ChristianityinAsia Object Highlight: Martyrdom of Nagasaki, 1622
Learn more:
This painting depicts the great martyrdom in Nagasaki in 1622. Over 55 Christians were killed in this tragic event. In this painting we see missionary priests tied to the stake, and put into a fire pit. One of the priests is Carlo Spinola, an Italian Jesuit who was the master architect of the Church of Saint Paul in Macau.
Depicted at the foreground of the painting are Japanese men beheading Japanese Christians. Throngs of onlookers crowd around the execution scene, as others arrive on boats. Some kneel in prayer while others look on in horror. The crowd included Europeans, Chinese, and Africans, as well as Japanese.
The precise details of this scene suggest that it was painted by an eyewitness. The painting may have been made in Macau by an artist from the Jesuit Painting School in Japan.
During this point in time in the 17th century, Christianity was suppressed and forbidden in Japan. Many of these artists who studied in the Jesuit painting school, and Japanese Christians, were exiled to Macau or Manila.

The Secret of Nagasaki
Real Secret is that the Ground Zero was Urakami Cathedral in Nagasaki
why monument in Hiroshima ? why No monument in Nagasaki ?
Two types of atomic bombs uranium & plutonium
THE BOMB with uranium to Hiroshima was made by Nazi Germany ?
Manhattan Project and plutonium type ? Nazi Germany and uranium type ? Even William Leonard Laurence were not allowed to see Hiroshima.
For the plan change, Nagasaki mayor had received a state guest treatment from the US.
Nagasaki mayor did not understand the background at all.
There is a great irony in this background.
Construction of the original Urakami Cathedral, a brick Neo-Romanesque building, began in 1895, after a long-standing ban on Christianity was lifted.
In 1865, the French priest Bernard Petitjean discovered that almost all the Urakami villagers were Christian. Between 1869 and 1873, over 3600 villagers were banished.
During their exile, 650 died martyrs. The persecuted Kakure Kirishitan (Hidden Christians) came back to their home village from 7 years exile in 1873, and decided to construct their own church.
They purchased the land of the village chief where the humiliating interrogations had taken place for two centuries. The annual fumi-e interrogations required those present to tread upon an icon of the Virgin Mary or Jesus. They thought the place was appropriate considering their memory of the long persecution. Construction of the building was started by Father Francine and was completed under the direction of Father Regani. The frontal twin spires stood 64 meters high were constructed in 1875. When completed in 1925 (Taishō 14), it was the largest Catholic church in East Asia.
The atomic bomb that fell on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 detonated in Urakami only 500 m (1640 ft) from the cathedral, completely destroying it. As the Feast of the Assumption of Mary (August 15) was near, Mass was held on the day and was well attended. The resultant collapse and heat-wave cindered and buried all those present in the Cathedral. The destruction of the cathedral hit the religious community of Nagasaki the hardest, as they viewed it as a loss of spirituality. It had such an impact, that famous playwright Tanaka Chikao wrote his most successful play, Head of Mary, about the efforts of Christians in Nagasaki to reconstitute their faith by rebuilding the Virgin Mary.
A replacement was built in 1959, after a serious debate between the city government and the congregation. The city government suggested preserving the destroyed cathedral as a heritage site, and offered an alternate site for a new church.
However, the decision to preserve the destroyed cathedral was suddenly changed dramatically by Nagasaki mayor's decision.
The destroyed cathedral which was the largest Catholic church in East Asia, was removed.
Nagasaki should have been chosen as the last target place by the Christian country （US） ???
US decision makers did not care about the background at all ?
Protestant vs. Catholic ?
Decision-makers were not Christian ?
No information about Nagasaki ?
