🇲🇴Macau St. Lawrence Church | The beauty of piety that transcends time and space

My dears, when you come to Macau, you must check out St. Lawrence’s Church! It is located in the Fong Shun Parish in Macau. It was founded in the mid-16th century. It is one of the three oldest churches in Macau and a world cultural heritage. The Chinese call it "Fengxin Hall", and because of its Cantonese homonym it is also called "Fengshun Hall", which has the beautiful meaning of praying for "good weather and good harvests". Walking into the church, you will see the perfect fusion of Baroque and Classical styles. The exquisite rose windows and gorgeous carvings all demonstrate the exquisiteness of architectural art. Even an atheist will be moved by the grandeur and magnificence before his eyes. Macau has a unique Portuguese flavor, and St. Lawrence Church is its most representative example. Blue and white walls, gravel roads, and colorful Portuguese buildings are integrated into the streets and alleys of Macau. Just by turning a corner from the bustling and lively area, you can encounter the tranquility and solemnity of this church. It not only carries the sacredness of religion, but also witnesses the integration and collision of Macau's local culture and world culture. In the bustling residential area, it is like a spiritual pure land, sheltering people passing by. Next time you come to Macau, don't miss this beautiful place full of history and piety~ #澳门景点
