The 26 Martyrs of Japan: A Pilgrimage to the Cross
Manage episode 410808901 series 3472993
The 16th Century was a rollercoaster for Japanese Christians.
The first half was amazing-- the first Portuguese missionaries broke ground and people were getting saved by the thousands. Churches were built, clergy established, things were looking great.
The second half was...well, pretty bad. A combination of suspicious Japanese leaders and the shaky reputation of the European powers started to turn the tides of what Christianity would look like in Japan for hundreds of years.
So let's talk about it! Thanks for listening~
Also hey, John and his wife are hosting this episode! Tommy will be back next week.
