Kakure Kirishitan Captured on Film
Today is the memorial of Saint Paul Miki and the Nagasaki Martyrs, crucified four hundred and twelve years ago. The Catholic Faith went underground, but without the sacraments or proper catechesis, the beliefs of the Kakure Kirishitan, or "Hidden Christians," changed over the centuries.
This remarkable Australian television report, which does not allow embedding, tells the story of those who have kept their faith alive to this day — Hidden Christians - Japan. These videos do as well — Otaiya: Japan's Hidden Christians and Japan's hidden Christians.
