What is ‘Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region’? |
The property, ‘Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region’, bears unique testimony to the history of people and their communities who secretly transmitted their faith in Christianity during the time of prohibition spanning more than two centuries in Japan, from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The 12 components of the property demonstrate the formation, spread and end of the distinctive religious tradition nurtured by Hidden Christians in the Nagasaki region during the long ban on Christianity.
