• SAINT NICHOLAS OF JAPAN • 🌸 On the last day of my stay in Japan we visited the tomb of the great Enlightener of this land Saint Nicholas (Kasatkin), Archbishop of Tokyo and All Japan. We venerated his grave, lit candles, chanted the Akathist to him, and asked for his prayers for the Church of Christ spread wide from East to West. May his intercessions be with every Orthodox Christian, that in our confusing times we may stand firm on our blameless Faith and Piety. Amen. ☦️
