Distant Echoes - Holy Trinity Cathedral

Many years ago, waiting for the bus at the end of Hankou Road No. 49, I glanced at the red church in the golden light, and that beauty became an eternal autumn memory... Holy Trinity Cathedral | Holy Trinity Cathedral The oldest existing Christian church in Shanghai, built in 1869. *** Unlike the Xujiahui Catholic Church, this is a Christian church (Protestant), with only pastors and no priests. Originally a British expatriate church, it is now the headquarters of the two Christian associations in China. It adopts the Roman style with Gothic revival features, such as the use of pointed and round shapes in the entrance door, which is very distinctive. It is the only remaining church in Shanghai with an outer porch, using an Antigonid dome structure, full of ancient charm. The original pipe organ was powered by electric drums, which was the largest in the Far East at the time, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the 1960s. The current sound is produced by sound, and the effect is slightly discounted. At present, two services are open on Sunday mornings, and the timetable and precautions can be checked by logging in to the Holy Trinity Cathedral public account. Non-believers can also enter, a considerable part of them are here to worship in a proper manner, of course, the proportion of check-ins is also very high, try to take pictures as early as possible, and do not disturb the order of worship. It is recommended to sit down quietly and sing hymns, listen to the pastor's sermon, and let your soul be comforted for a moment... When the sunlight shines through the top window onto the scriptures in your hand, there will be a sense of holiness... Amen
