The most beautiful religious buildings Singapore

A first church was built by George Coleman in 1836 but was destroyed by lightning in 1852. The second Gothic church was built on the same site between 1865 and 1861. The first Mass was celebrated in 1861 and the Anglican Church was consecrated as a cathedral in 1870. During the Japanese occupation, it was used as an emergency hospital. Observe the four paths that lead to the cathedral, forming the cross of St. Andrew (an X-shaped cross).

Built on the top of a small hill, this temple is located in a settlement area, which makes it lose a bit of its charm. His shui feng, on the other hand, is perfect because he turns his back on the mountain and faces the sea. Divided into two parts, the temple is dedicated to Kuan Yin, omnipresent in Singapore. The main grace that she gives to her fervent is longevity. The temple of the high, which is reached by a nice staircase, was recently renovated as well as the statues. There is a court and a little sanctuary with a statue of Buddha.

In the main sanctuary, Kuan Yin is found in a statue of the Monkey God with, on the one hand, the gods of war and the other, the goddess of Fertility and Birth. Basically, and facing Kuan Yin, we see Wei Tuo, who loved Kuan Yin but whose love was pushed back. He then became his friend and knight serving. Here you have to attend the festivities celebrating the four birthdays of Kuan Yin (they take place during the 2nd, 6 th, 9 th and 11 th lunar month).
