Finally on familiar grounds in China, I went in to meet my old pals from Jerusalem – Jesus, Maria, John and Jesus’ Twelve. This church dates back as early as 1587 and is declared a UNESCO heritage site. [Wish there were more of those in HK and Taiwan]
It looks beautiful on the outside…
as it is does inside…
With the familiar characters, and the top inscription of INRI – IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM (Jesus Nazarenus, Rex Judaeorum), roughly translated as "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”.
A surprising find in East-Asia. Gives Macau a special flavor.
