Early Japanese Christian scroll discovered

Originally posted by mikewhitney View PostThe Japanese have had so little access to the gospel. It barely started before the persecutions began.
Christianity arrived on the islands of Japan when St. Francis Xavier came to the country in 1549, though it is possible that Nestorian Christians had arrived at the islands in the 400s, only to retreat some years later.
Francis Xavier and his Jesuit missionaries evangelized and baptized many Japanese, sometimes converting whole provinces to Christianity.
By the 1580s, there were more than 200,000 Christians in Japan, including several influential leaders who had converted.
So in a little over 30 years there were "more than 200,000 converts." It's success was likely a principle reason for the resulting persecution.

I guess because they would have had no way to know how they would have actually looked and dressed.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
