| description | Macao’s sister city of Nagasaki was the center of Japan’s Roman Catholic faith and housed the largest Roman Catholic church in Asia. One of the Church’s most renowned saints, St. Francis Xavier, founded the community, while the Jesuits governed it from 1580 through the brutal repressions beginning in 1614. Nagasaki’s relationship with Macao has been reinforced up to the present era through the Ruins of St. Paul’s, which is actually the ruin of the Church of the Mother of God (Igreja Mater Dei), to which Japanese Catholics from 1602 to 1640 contributed extensively. In Macao are also the remains of Japanese Catholics martyred in the Tokugawa repression. |
