天主教台南教區中華聖母主教座堂 OUR LADY QUEEN OF CHINA CATHEDRAL TAINAN DIOCESE - West Central District

It is different from the church we usually imagine. It combines the local cultural style, which makes this feel more close to the people. I like this church very much.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of China in the ancient capital of Tainan is a rare combination of Chinese palace-style architecture, especially the “silence” at the door, which is even more eye-catching.

The holy and innocent mother, in the shape of an oriental temple, shows her compassion for all living beings.

It is a Catholic church that integrates elements of Chinese culture. In addition to the appearance of the building, from the "Quiet" sign at the entrance to the wood carving patterns on the walls of the hall, you can feel that the Pope wants to use local elements to attract more people. Many locals are concerned about the Catholic concept of teaching people to be kind. Unfortunately, when I was visiting the church today, I met a volunteer who came out of the church. At first, he greeted me warmly. After a while, he held a paper bag and asked me to donate some money. kind in a paper bag. I can accept donations when I enter the house, but I can’t understand that the volunteer’s first opening is 1,000 yuan, and I even watched me put the money into the paper bag and then put it into the box (the donation I still depends on my ability in the end, no According to the price he said.), and there are other words that make me uncomfortable, so I can't express it here. Maybe it's the personal behavior of the volunteers, but it still makes me less fond of the church...
