Cave of St. Ignatius on Japanese Television

Categories: Uncategorized

Towards the end of last year, a team from Japanese television NHK, came to the Cave of St. Ignatius to record images for a documentary about Ukon Takayama, a Japanese Christian who lived between the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century. He was exiled to the Philippines.  At the Cave in Manresa there is a likeness of that important personage admired because of his determination and strength of character to keep his faith.  His image is in fact in the “Modernist style” anteroom to the cave.  There are four panels on each side of the anteroom showing figures of the beginnings of the Society.  The documentary was broadcast in Japan at the beginning of last December and was well received by the spectators who were impressed and moved at the same time.
