St Nikolai Kasatkin

St. Nicholas of Japan
St. Nicholas went to Japan in 1861, to serve as chaplain to the Russian consulate in Hakodate. He converted over 50 people to Christianity while the religion was still outlawed. When Christianity was legalized in 1872, he set up a mission in Tokyo. By 1878 there were over 4,000 Japanese Orthodox and Nicholas was consecrated their bishop. He built many churches, a cathedral, a seminary, a nursing home and a press. During the Russo-Japanese War, he remained loyal to his flock and became archbishop in 1908. He reposed February 3, 1912.
