Miiraku Church 三井楽教会

A church with beautiful stained glass

Miiraku has the longest history of Christian belief in Goto. The hidden Christians who fled persecution in Omura domain in 1797 secretly continued their faith here. A gothic-style wooden church was completed in 1880, and rebuilt as the current church in 1971.
The bright colors of the modern mosaic wall art were created with shells and ceramics, and the stained glass inside the church is beautifully made, right up to the details, with exquisite use of color and color schemes. The stained glass on the right as you enter the church shows the story of Christ, from birth to resurrection, while the stained glass on the left depicts the history of the Catholics in Goto.
