Water from Nagasaki

Water from Nagasaki

In a more than symbolic act, water from the Urakami River, Nagasaki, was poured at the main entrance to the nuclear base in Faslane on Christmas Day 2006.

We remember:
"At the time of the Nagasaki bombing in 1945, between 15,000 and 16,000 Catholics - the majority of the approximately 20,000 people of that faith in Nagasaki and about half of the local population - lived in the Urakami district. It is said that about 10,000 Catholics were killed by the atomic bomb." (Source).

Such a crime must never ever again happen to any people in this world. By getting rid of the nuclear bombs, we can help to achieve this goal.
