Continuing eternal prayer with " God " Japanese calligraphy





" Tabira Lord of Heaven temple " 
 
There is the church in the remote hill among fields.
The historic sense seems to give it.

This frugal space has the appearance is good for the solemn prayer.






St. Francis Xavier Memorial Church "

8.9.1945, 67 years ago. One bomb was dropped on this neighborhood.
People take the influence just a moment. More than 70,000 missed.

Most of the towns melted with many citizens. Innocent at all children, women... they can't even run away.
Only "one" and "a moment"...  It was made with atomic energy.






The stained glass is made in Italy Milan City, Alessandro Grassi Corporation.
Today, and tomorrow...   The pious prayer will continue.


NAGASAKI is the town with most believers accompanying the Lord of Heaven.


Please forgive us, and please protect us.
Nearer, my God, to Thee...




    "" (shinn, or kami).  It is translated as God.
    This character is written by Kanzi Regular script.

    Etymology : Phono-semantic compound
    phonetic 申 (extend) + semantic 示 (show)

    "申 (shinn)" is a hieroglyph of the thunder.
    The meaning of God came out of the sacredness.

    神社 (Jin-ja)
    The meaning is Shinto shrine.

    This kanji lets the heart rouse feelings to respect our ancestor.
    Itself may possess mysterious power.


    いと高きところでは、神に栄光があるように。 地の上ではみ心にかなう人々に平和があるように。  ルカ 2:14 
     Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.  Luke 2:14




Quiet country scenery is impressive.
This movie is " Tabira Lord of Heaven temple "


Merry Christmas.  God bless you all.

A wonderful new year for you and yours.

    Japanese calligraphy is tremendously impressive, thaks for sharing. My first post this year was devoted to this: "Touch it and the bloom is gone..." And now the subject crowns the year, isn't it symbolic?

  21. 荘厳で美しい教会ですね。入り口で迎えてくださるのはマリア様でしょうか。宗派を超えて、いと高き所におられる真理に向かい手を合わせ、同じ方向を向いていけば、平和な世の中も不可能ではないはずですが・・・。 今年一年の感動をありがとうございます。

  34. Αγαπημένη μου φίλη Ruma
    Συγνώμη που καθυστέρησα να σου γράψω, αλλά έχω τα παιδιά και την εγγονούλα μου για τα Χριστούγεννα.
    Είναι πολύ συγκινητική η ανάρτηση σου, με την θλιβερή ανάμνηση του Ναγκασάκι.
    Κανένας μας δεν ξεχνάει τα αθώα θύματα της ατομικής βόμβας.
    Ο Θεός να τους αναπαύσει εν ειρήνη.
    Εύχομαι σε σένα και στην οικογένεια σου, ευτυχισμένες γιορτές με υγεία και ευτυχία!
    Σου στέλνω μια ζεστή αγκαλιά!

  40. Je te retrouve, cher ami Ruma, après une période d'absence, toujours avec autant de plaisir. Tes photos sont toujours magnifiques. A l'occasion de Noël, que je te souhaite, le plus heureux possible auprès des tiens, je fais le vœux de cultiver cette amitié entre peuples , entre culture, dans un esprit de paix et d'amour, pour qu'il n'y ait plus de guerre ni de marchands d'armes sur cette terre.Je pense que, sincèrement l'art doit jouer un rôle dans ce sens.
    Je te présente aussi mes meilleurs vœux pour 2014;
    Avec toute mon amitié.

  45. My dear Ruma...such a beautiful picture and your words evoke much sorrow at that horrible time of war for both our countries. Devastation such as took place in Japan should never have happened. Sadly, innocents always suffer. It is imperative that we make this world free of war and violence. May this New Year bring peace to the world.
