Sketching at St John's Cathedral 中環聖約翰座堂

Sketching at St John's Cathedral  中環聖約翰座堂


St John's Cathedral is almost as old as Hong Kong.  It is the oldest Anglican church in the Far East and the  oldest ecclesiastical building in Hong Kong.  The first Sunday service was held on Sunday, 11 March 1849, seven years after the establishment of Victoria City (the foundation of modern Hong Kong) by the British. Today, St John's has become an urban sanctuary in the very heart of Central.

中環聖約翰座堂是遠東歷史最悠久的聖公會教堂。教堂首次主日崇拜始於1849三月十一日。聖約翰座堂見證香港由漁港發展成今日的模樣。座落中環心臟,聖約翰座堂已成為中環鬧市的心靈綠州。
