Morrison Chapel — Attraction in Santo António

You can find the simple Protestant Chapel (also referred to as the Morrison Chapel) at Camoes Square in Macau. This is the location of several World Heritage attractions including the Protestant Cemetery which is situated around the walled Protestant Chapel.

The chapel was built to serve the small population of protestants, mainly British and American that settled in early Macau, which was dominated by European colonists of the Catholic faith.

Here you find a small, single room house of worship with several rows of pews and and a modest alter.

1821年之前，當這塊小聖堂和墓地（舊基督教墳場）的土地被收購，該聖堂可能是英國東印度公司簡單的一間辦公室。 此次收購墓地是由受聘於東印度公司傳教士及翻譯馬禮遜的妻子瑪麗．馬禮遜死亡有關。...
