Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo (Macau)

Die Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo (portugiesisch für Unsere-Frau-vom-Berg-Karmel-Kirche, chinesisch 嘉模聖母堂) ist eine römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche in der gleichnamigen Freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Carmo von Macau, welche auch oft unter der Bezeichnung Taipa geführt wird. Geschichte Nachdem die Portugiesen die seit dem 18. Jahrhundert von Chinesen bewohnte Insel ab 1847 militärisch besetzt und 1851 annektiert hatten, errichteten sie 1885 eine Kirche, die Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Das bestätigte die Ankunft der portugiesischen Kolonialisten und damit auch die Ankunft des Katholizismus auf Taipa. Das Kirchengebäude hatte, auf einem Hügel errichtet, einen Blick über das Dorf Taipa, ehemalige Villen, die heute für das Casas-Museu da Taipa restauriert wurden, und das Meer, welches durch Landgewinnung heute allerdings zur Zone Cotai wurde. Die zugehörige Freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Carmo ist historisch dem Pfarrbezirk der Kirche gleichzusetzen, war aber nie weltliche Verwaltungseinheit. Dennoch werden diese ehemaligen Pfarrbezirke bis heute zur statistischen Aufteilung Macaus in Stadtteile verwendet. Im Jahr 1985 wurde die Kirche restauriert. Architektur Die Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo wurde von den Portugiesen nach europäischem Vorbild errichtet. Der Baustil ist dabei eindeutig neoklassizistisch, was insbesondere an der der Antike nachempfundenen Tempelarchitektur der Front und dem Säulenensemble zu erkennen ist. Typisch für viele Gebäude in Macau ist die in bunten Pastellfarben gehaltene Fassade. Das Kirchengebäude verfügt über einen Glockenturm, allerdings ohne Spitzdach. Das ca. 186 m² große Kirchengebäude ist in drei Ebenen aufgeteilt: Glockenturm, Hauptschiff und Chor. Im Inneren finden mehr als 200 Gläubige Platz. Auf dem Hochaltar steht ein Bild der Jungfrau Maria, während den linken Seitenaltar ein Bild des als König geschmückten Jesus und den rechten Seitenaltar ein Bildnis des Heiligen Josef von Nazaret schmückt. Heutige Nutzung Die Kirche ist Pfarrkirche einer der sechs Pfarreien beziehungsweise Gemeinden in Macau. Die Heilige Messe wird in der Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten, wie auch in vielen anderen Kirchen Macaus, jeweils auf Kantonesisch, Englisch oder Portugiesisch gehalten. Sonntagmorgens wird mit der kantonesischsprachigen Messe begonnen, gefolgt von der englischsprachigen und der portugiesischsprachigen Messe; sonnabends wird die Heilige Messe ebenfalls abends vorgezogen auf Englisch abgehalten. Bis auf dienstags findet die Messe wochentags immer morgens auf Kantonesisch und abends auf Englisch statt. Der Ort ist heute aufgrund seiner ruhigen, romantischen Atmosphäre im Grünen besonders für Hochzeitspaare oder Touristen ein beliebter Anlaufpunkt. Einzelnachweise

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo (Macau)

A Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, também chamada de Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte Carmelo, foi construída, em 1885, no cimo de uma colina com vista para o mar, para a Vila da Taipa e para as mansões restauradas de estilo arquitectónico europeu situadas na antiga Praia da Taipa. Antes da construção da igreja, o Bispo D. Manuel Bernardo de Sousa Enes e o Governador Tomás de Sousa Rosa decidiram construir primeiro um cruzeiro no adro para experimentar a solidez do terreno. Naquela época, foi construída para servir a comunidade católica residente na ilha da Taipa e hoje continua a ser a única igreja católica da ilha. Ela marcou a chegada dos portugueses à Taipa. O local é muito popular para a celebração de casamentos e passeios. No ano da sua fundação (1885), ela tornou-se na igreja matriz da Paróquia de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, uma das 6 paróquias da Diocese de Macau. Actualmente, esta paróquia engloba toda a ilha da Taipa. Esta igreja tem aproximadamente uma área de 186 m². Ela é uma construção de rara beleza e inclui um campanário. O corpo da igreja é dividida em 3 níveis: a nave principal, o coro e a torre sineira. O seu interior é solene, espaçosa e pode acomodar, simultaneamente, mais de duzentos devotos. O altar-mor é presidido por uma imagem da Virgem Maria. De ambos os lados estão colocados 2 estátuas de anjos de guarda, para comemorar o centésimo aniversário da igreja. Nos dois altares laterais encontram-se, no lado esquerdo, a imagem de Jesus (vestido de Rei) e, no lado direito, a imagem de São José.

Но уже в 1958 году его отреставрировали, и оно приобрело свой нынешний вид. Здание фабрики было возведено высотой в 7 этажей, появилась колокольня. Автором проекта выступила шанхайская архитектурная фирма Jitai Engineering Division. В 1980-х годах на последнем этаже здания был открыт ресторан, который работает и по сей день. В настоящее время здание является частью головного офиса и фабрики пищевой компании Garden. Возможный снос и реконструкция В июле 2017 года компания Garton Limited обратилась в Градостроительный совет с просьбой построить на месте Garden Centre новое 25-этажное здание. Градостроительный совет одобрил заявку на реконструкцию, потребовав от владельца сохранить башню и элементы фасада. Однако по состоянию на 2025 год соответствующий план реконструкции ещё не был реализован.

The garden occupies an area of 32,000 sq ft (3,000m2) and is bounded by Boundary Street, Embankment Road, Prince Edward Road West and Yuen Po Street. History The garden was established after the former "Bird Street" at Hong Lok Street (雀仔街), off Argyle Street, was demolished by the former Land Development Corporation (now the Urban Renewal Authority) in the early 1990s. Langham Place was built on the site of the former Bird Street. Construction of the replacement garden was completed in March 1997 on a more peripheral site. The market was closed on 5 July 2012, following a positive swab sample of H5N1 avian influenza virus, from a bird cage of oriental magpie-robins. It was closed for 21 days and re-opened on 26 July.

Dongshan Church (Guangzhou)

Dongshan Church, full name Dongshan Christian Church (simplified Chinese: 基督教东山堂; traditional Chinese: 基督教東山堂; pinyin: Jīdūjiào Dōngshāntáng), formerly Tung Shan Baptist Church, is the largest Christian church in Guangzhou, China. It was founded by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1908, and is now a Guangzhou Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection Unit. History In 1870, some American baptist missionaries bought the Wuxianxi storefront in Guangzhou and established a gospel hall there. By 1908, as the number of believers increased and the area was noisy and unsuitable for expansion, the old site was sold and a new Church was built at Sibeitongjin 9, Dongshan Temple. It was completed in 1909, and Dongshan Baptist Church was established on May 2 of the same year. In 1927, due to the further increase of worshippers, the church was expanded into a two-story building with an auditorium of 1,300 seats. A grand dedication ceremony was held and the church was renamed Tung Shan Christian Baptist Church. In 1949, the church built the Lord's Day School, a home for the aged and took over the Mu Kuang School for the Blind. In 1960, when China mainland implemented "joint worship", the church merged with several other churches and was renamed Dongshan Christian Church. After the Cultural Revolution broke out in 1966, the church was forced to suspend its activities. The church reopened in 1979. It was the first Christian church in Guangzhou to resume gatherings. In 1987, the offices of the Guangzhou Christian Three-Self Patriotic Committee and Guangzhou Christian Council were moved to Dongshan Church. In July 1999, Dongshan Church was listed among the Cultural Relic Protection Units in Guangzhou. Architecture Dongshan Church, boasting the largest church in Guangzhou, is a two-story Gothic building in a reinforced concrete structure. It covers an area of 3850 square meters and has a construction area of 2276.18 square meters. There are the chapel, Sunday school and other buildings and broad venues. And there is a circular hall with 1300 seats, which is the place for believers to pray and worship.

ELCHK Lutheran Secondary School

ELCHK Lutheran Secondary School (LSS) (Chinese: 基督教香港信義會信義中學) is a Lutheran aided mixed-sex secondary school in King's Park, Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong established in 1958. The school moved to its current location in 1964, near Yau Ma Tei station. History The school was founded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong in April 1958 and initially borrowed 28B Grampian Road, Kowloon City, to operate, adopting a half-day timetable. 2 years later, as the church that owned the address stopped renting it out to the school, they moved to a vacated campus at 23 Ho Man Tin Hill Road. In 1959, the school was approved to build a new campus at 52 Waterloo Road, which remains their address. They also opened a branch campus in Yuen Long, now ELCHK Yuen Long Lutheran Secondary School. As the permanent campus was completed in 1964, the school officially moved into it. In its early days, the school had both Chinese and English classes and switched to using English as the sole medium of instruction from 1981 to 1998. In recent years, the school has used both Chinese and English as mediums of instruction. Campus The school has a non-standard campus, covering 13,000 square meters with 29 classrooms and various special-use rooms. Completed in 1964 and having undergone expansion in 1997, the architecture exemplifies the Bauhaus style.

Kennedy Town Swimming Pool

The Kennedy Town Swimming Pool (Chinese: 堅尼地城游泳池) is a public swimming complex in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong. There have been two pools of this name. The first iteration opened in 1974 while the current iteration opened in 2011. First generation Construction of the Kennedy Town Swimming Pool began in 1971 on the former site of the Kennedy Town cattle quarantine depot on Smithfield. The $7.5 million facility was funded by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and opened on 14 August 1974. At the opening ceremony, Jockey Club steward Douglas Laing unveiled a commemorative plaque. The pool was built and managed by the Urban Council and was the first public pool in Western District. The complex comprised two 50 metre pools, a diving pool, a spectator stand as well as smaller children's pools. The West Island line, a scheme to extend the Island line railway line to Western District, was gazetted in October 2007 and given final authorisation in March 2009. It was decided to build the terminus of the line, Kennedy Town station, at Smithfield, necessitating the demolition of the swimming pool. Second generation The new swimming pool complex occupies a 0.8 ha site near the Kennedy Town waterfront. It was designed by architecture firm Farrells, built by Paul Y. Engineering, and cost an estimated HK$671 million. The complex includes two 50 metres pools, a 25-metre training pool, a children's pool and a jacuzzi. The futuristic pool building is clad in zinc, while a translucent insulated membrane roofing system allows diffuse natural light to reach the indoor pool hall. Comprising the outdoor pools only, the first phase of the new complex opened on 11 May 2011. The second phase of the swimming pool, comprising the indoor pools, was completed in 2016 and opened to the public on 7 February 2017.
