Twenty-Six Martyrs Monument - Nagasaki - 日本二十六聖人記念館

Here's how to pray the Chaplet of St. Paul Miki and his Companions, the 26 Martyrs of Japan. Prayed on a 26-beaded Rosary, the Chaplet prays for the intercession of St. Paul Miki and his Companions. It was also prayed during a French apparition of Our Lady of Pontmain in 1861. St. Paul Miki and Companions, pray for us!
