Memorial Cathedral for World Peace

The Cathedral
Upon entering the cathedral, you will see a mosaic of The Second Coming of Christ. A cross or a statue of the resurrection of Christ is usually placed in a church, but because this city experienced the tragedy of the atomic bomb, The Second Coming of Christ (which represents hope after the end of the world) was placed here instead.

Stained Glass
The front wall and both sides feature ornate colored stained glasses. Most of them were donated from people all over the world. The sunlight that passes through the stained-glass windows radiates a spectrum of glorious light that illuminates the entire church. The light gives visitors a sense of holiness.

The Mass
The cathedral offers a mass every morning. All are welcome to participate and make offering and prayers. You can pray for world peace in this holy atmosphere. They offer a mass in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Vietnamese depending on the day of the week.
