Beautiful old church. Gorgeous ceiling with gold and cream detail. Originally Italian parish but now vibrant Chinese community runs it and is in heart if Chinatown.

May this church survive and thrive for many more...

Church of the Transfiguration located at 29 Mott Street in Chinatown, NYC is where I was baptized when I was a little toddler.

It is a very old Catholic church, and they conduct mass is English and Chinese. It is also a Catholic School that teaches grade school to 8th grade.

The inside of the church is small compare to the other churches in NYC.

Happy...
