Martyrdom of Paul Miki and Companions in Nagasaki (Made 1635).png

Saint Paul Miki (1562–1597), a Japanese Jesuit seminarian, was crucified in Nagasaki with 25 companions during the 1597 persecution of Christians. Canonized in 1862, his eloquent preaching during martyrdom strengthens Japan’s 500,000 Catholics. His legacy at Nagasaki’s 26 Martyrs Shrine underscores Asia’s vibrant Catholic martyrdom tradition.
