Nhà thờ Công Giáo Tân Định: Look At This Pink Church in Vietnam
Pink Church - Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Admit it, we kind of like to visit
religious sites as part of our travels into a new city. While Vietnam is mainly a Buddhist country and
pagodas abound every city, thanks to the French influences in this nation,
there are catholic churches also. One sure celebrated church that is far from
extravagant yet still manages to make you say wow is the Tan Dinh: Vietnam
Pink Church.
It has been named as such because of
its façade’s striking rose color that you’ll noticed when you walk by around
the area. Next to the legendary Notre
Dame Basilica, which has been built by the French during the last centry,
this is the second largest church in the Ho Chi Minh. Every local knows this
beautiful favorite worthy place of worship. You’d be lucky if you get to hear
mass here as well, as the church inside is blushed with pink as well.
The park in front with a statue of
Mary and the actual church is well kept. I’ve seen a few travellers spending
some time taking pictures and sharing prayers. Interesting enough, one local
said to us that from afar, the cathedral, the street in front and the garden
make a big cross symbol in the ground. If you are spending an extra few hours
in Saigon, why not share some of your time in this religious iconic basilica.
