St Francis Xavier Church

St. Francis Xavier Church in Macau contains some of the most sacred relics in the history of Christianity in Asia. Named after the distinguished protestant missionary St Xavier Francis, this most sacred among the Churches of Macau is also known for its architectural splendor.

St. Francis Xavier Church in Macau was built in 1928. A classic example of the baroque style Macau St. Xavier Cathedral has a cream and pallid facade with elliptical windows and a bell tower. The church stands after the memorial commemorating the triumph over pirates in 1910.

St. Francis Xavier Church in Macau contains the holy remains in the form of a bone from the arm of St. Francis Xavier in a silver reliquary. It also houses the mortal remains of 26 Catholic priests crucified in Nagasaki in 1597. As a result, the Chapel is a major attraction for people from Japan on their Macau sightseeing tour. The airy plaza in front of the Macau St. Xavier Cathedral has finest restaurants.

Today the St Francis Xavier Church in Macau is used as the Parish Church of Macau and continues to attract hundreds of pilgrims worldwide. The sagacity and adventure Christian missionaries are well embodied in the edifice of this sacred cathedral. No one can think of giving it a missed chance on his or her Macau sightseeing tour.
