'A huge loss.' In remote Nagasaki islands, a rare version of Christianity heads toward extinction

6 days ago | fredericknewspost.com | Foster Klug |Mari Yamaguchi |Mayuko Ono

IKITSUKI, Japan — On this small island in rural Nagasaki, Japan ‘s Hidden Christians gather to worship what they call the Closet God. In a special room about the size of a tatami mat is a scroll painting of a kimono-clad Asian woman. She looks like a Buddhist Bodhisattva holding a baby, but for the faithful, this is a concealed version of Mary and the baby Jesus. Another scroll shows a man wearing a kimono covered with camellias, an allusion to John the Baptist’s beheading and martyrdom.

“Una pérdida enorme”. En islas remotas de Nagasaki, versión de cristianismo se enfila a la extinción

IKITSUKI, Japón (AP) — En esta pequeña isla de la zona rural de Nagasaki, los cristianos ocultos de Japón se reúnen para adorar a lo que llaman el Dios de clóset —Dios secreto. En una habitación especial aproximadamente del tamaño de un tatami, se encuentra una pintura en pergamino de una mujer asiática vestida con un kimono. Parece una bodhisattva budista que carga a un bebé, pero para los fieles, esta es una versión oculta de María y el niño Jesús.
