The brochure of scripture

I took photo with Cindy outside the church

The Catholic church

On April 25, I went to the largest Catholic Church in Shanghai Xujiahui Area. It was the first church in Shanghai. We saw this church when we had arrived in Shanghai. This church was really attracted us. Because it's beautiful and western style, it looked ancient and mystery. So tomorrow morning we went there for our curiosity.

It was really serious for us because this church is illegal to take photos. And out side the church there were some volunteer people who told us some rules for visiting. For example. we cannot shout in the church, we cannot take photos in the church and so on. When we went into the church, first we saw a beautiful altar, and a famous paint above it which is called The Last Dinner. Both sides of the church, there were some people kneeled on the place and shrift to the paint in front of them.

In the middle of the church, there was a big stage. It's for some wedding people got wedding there. The church is really high and there were many paintings about Man of Sorrows on the windows. On the top of it, it's a big blue window with a circle. We also got a brochure of scripture. It said' Et unam, sanctam, cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam '

We were impressed about the huge church and special western style building with two big roods on the top. And it's the first time i saw the Catholic Church in China.
