Quiet time: Faith and aesthetics of St. Augustine's Church

#MacauAttractions
Among the winding alleys of Macau, St. Augustine's Church is like a hidden pearl, standing quietly through the years. When you first see it, the soft yellow facade and elegant Baroque-style architecture seem to bring you back to the past. This ancient church, built in the 16th century, is one of the earliest Catholic churches in Macau and carries countless stories of faith and history. As you enter the church, the interior space is tall and solemn, and the exquisite carvings and stained glass on the altar will make you hold your breath. The sunlight shines through the stained glass windows, reflecting on the beams and benches, creating a warm and sacred atmosphere. The most unforgettable thing is the statue of St. Augustine, whose eyes are gentle and firm, as if listening to the voices of every visitor. The small square outside the church is quiet and leisurely, dotted with several towering ancient trees. When the breeze blows, the green shadows sway, as if whispering the memory of history. Here, the noisy modern world seems to be isolated from me, leaving only inner peace and a moment of soul tranquility. St. Augustine's Church is a spiritual place where people are willing to stay for a long time.
