A symphony of lives were impacted by the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki, Japan, and the witness of Servant of God Takashi Nagai, whose Catholic faith rose from those ashes.
While the bombing devastated both the city of Nagasaki and its large Catholic population, the monastery of Seibo no Kishi located in the mountains on the outskirts of Nagasaki was spared.
