Abstract: 

It was a big day for Japan's Catholics — Pope Francis arrived in Nagasaki, the second Pope to ever visit Japan, after John Paul II in 1981.

Nagasaki is famous for the 1945 atomic bombing during World War II, along with Hiroshima.

It might surprise many to learn that Nagasaki has always been home to Japan's largest Catholic, or Hidden Christian community — all the way back to the late 1500s.
