Cathedral in Nagasaki to Receive New Commemorative Bell
April 22, 2025
Urakami Cathedral is one of Nagasaki’s most important locations. The original church, once a symbol of Japan’s hidden Christian community, was destroyed in the August 1945 bombing, leaving only ruins. For almost 80 years, the left bell tower of the rebuilt cathedral has remained empty. This served as a reminder of the lives lost and the destruction caused by the bomb.
