'''Nagasaki''' (Japanese: 長崎市) is a historic port city on the western coast of Kyushu island in southwestern [[Japan]], capital of [[Nagasaki Prefecture]]. With a population of approximately 397,000 as of 2025 estimates, it serves as the seat of the [[Archdiocese of Nagasaki]], one of Japan's oldest Christian communities, where Catholics comprise about 4.5% of residents amid a landscape scarred by persecution and atomic devastation yet radiant with resilient faith.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/naga0.htm |title=Archdiocese of Nagasaki |publisher=GCatholic.org |access-date=2025-11-22}}</ref> Renowned as the gateway through which Christianity entered Japan in 1549 and the site of the 1597 martyrdom of the Twenty-Six Holy Martyrs—crucified along Nishizaka Hill—Nagasaki embodies the Church's hidden perseverance, culminating in the 1945 atomic bombing that claimed 8,500 Catholic lives but spared the Oura Church as a symbol of divine mercy. | '''Nagasaki''' (Japanese: 長崎市) is a historic port city on the western coast of Kyushu island in southwestern [[Japan]], capital of [[Nagasaki Prefecture]].
