Visiting the historic and beautiful church in Hirado, Nagasaki - St. Francis Xavier Memorial Church

#JapanTravel Like a high-priced Lego product, The St. Francis Xavier Memorial Church, which boasts a beautiful appearance, was built in 1931 and shows the symbolic scenery of Hirado with a blend of Eastern and Western beauty. This is a church where you can enjoy artistic sensibility with exotic sculptures and stained glass. St. Francis Xavier, who is respected by many people around the world as a great saint, was a Catholic priest and missionary born in Spain. He was dispatched to India by order of King John III of Portugal and is famous as the first missionary to spread Christianity to Japan in 1549. It is also said that many people came to believe in Christianity through missionary work in Japan and India. I highly recommend that those traveling to Hirado stop by.
