The Samurai Saint (Under Beatification)

Takayama, died for his Christian faith, soon to be a saint!

He lived in the 16^th Century, baptized as ‘Justo’ in 1552—

Thus, he protected the short-lived missionary expansion

In Japan, in those far-off days, and then exiled himself,

In making his escape from Japan to the Philippines, in

1614 A.D., dying a year later.
