Pope to meet with young Japanese at cathedral built on the ashes of WWII

Tokyo, Nov 24 (EFE).- Pope Francis will meet members of Japan’s youth at the resplendent Tokyo Cathedral, a temple that symbolizes the country’s rebirth as it was erected on the ashes left by the bombings during the Second World War.
 
It is the second time that St Mary’s, in the Bunkyo district of the Japanese capital city, will be the venue for such a meeting, after Pope John Paul II’s appearance at the cathedral 38 years ago on the last papal visit to Japan. (Camera: YOKO KANEKO. Editor: NATTAKARN JEAMRUGEEKUL).
