See Hanoi churches on Christmas Eve

Translated by Bing
Before Christmas, churches in and outside Hanoi are shimmering and decorating, welcoming many visitors to visit and take pictures.

Church Phung Khoang parish in Nam Tu Liem district is decorated with many rows of high flags connecting from the top down. On the church tower, the laurel wreath and the image of the baby Jesus stand out. Phung Khoang Church was built in the 1910s and is home to about 1,000 parishioners.


On both sides of the church, about 1,000 seats are added ready to serve parishioners who come to pray on Christmas Eve. The parishioners shared that all the decorative accessories were made by the people, which made the Christmas holiday even more meaningful.
