Nagasaki Day Candlelight Plea for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons
August 9 @ 7:30 pm EDT
People are invited to stand or sit with large banners and posters, and pictorials of the aftermath of the atomic bombings. In front of the Basilica of SS Peter and Paul, candles and incense will be lit in memory of St. Mary’s Urakami Cathedral, ground-zero for the Nagasaki bombing. There will be readings and the ringing of a bell of peace 79 times in support of the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which has declared nuclear weapons Illegal.
