A-bombed statue of Virgin Mary shown at culture festival

NAGOYA, Japan - A charred statute of the Virgin Mary is on display at a cultural festival at Nanzan High School in Nagoya on Sept. 28. The 2-meter-high Italian-made wooden statute was installed at Urakami Chatholic Church in Nagasaki in 1929, and was damaged during the U.S. atomic bombing of the city on Aug. 9, 1945. The remaining head section is usually kept at the church.
