The experience of sharing mass in Chinese was very moving. The entire service was chanted and sung, and we knelt for most of it. I found it interesting that the large portrait of the Virgin Mary, hung behind the altar, was framed in neon. - Peggy

South Cathedral of Catholic
One of my favorite things to do when I visit a foreign country is to attend mass. Paige and I made arrangements, after much negotiation by our tour guides with a taxi company, to attend 6am mass at the South Cathedral. This was the first Catholic church established in Beijing, in the 1400's.
