Our Lady the Hibakusha This Spring I [Brian Terrell] travelled from my home in Iowa to join Catholic Workers and friends from around the country in New York to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of our movement there on May 1, 1933. An added incentive for this journey was to join with activists from around the globe in witnesses for nuclear abolition on the occasion of the United Nations' Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference that began on Monday, May 3. It was at the May Day festivities that the word was passed that the archbishop of Nagasaki, Japan, who was in town to address the U.N. conference, would be celebrating the 10:15 Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral the next day and several of us decided we would attend. At the very end of the Mass, just before the final blessing, Archbishop Takami was invited to say a few words. It was difficult to understand the archbishop's accent as he thanked the Archdiocese of New York and all of us present for our hospitality. He said something, too, referring to our blessed mother, Mary as an atomic bomb victim. As he and the other clergy processed off, the Japanese media all rushed up with their cameras to a place just to the left of the altar, a place that Martha and I could not see from our place half way down the cathedral nave. It was not until we worked our way against the departing crowd to the front to see what was going on that we understood what the archbishop had tried to tell us. There, a few feet beyond the altar rail was a simple, low table. On this table was a charred, broken piece of sculpture that I recognized from photographs as Mary, the Hibakusha. The archbishop brought with him to New York the head that was all that was left of a full scale statue of Mary, the mother of Jesus, found in the rubble of Nagasaki's Urakami (Immaculate Conception) Cathedral after that city was destroyed by an atom bomb on August 9, 1945....
