To celebrate Christmas, Notre Dame Cathedral (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) is decorated with a 500,000m long LED light system covering the bell tower, dome and grounds, attracting thousands of visitors to admire.
Not only a religious symbol, Notre Dame Cathedral (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) is also a destination that attracts people and tourists from home and abroad for many years. After a long period of repair, Notre Dame Cathedral is gradually completed, covered with LED lights from the top of the bell tower down.
This Christmas, Notre Dame Cathedral added 500,000m of LED lights, covering the entire campus for decoration, creating a brilliant, sparkling, and extremely beautiful space. It is known that this is the second year Notre Dame Cathedral has been decorated for Christmas since its repair and restoration in 2017. On Christmas 2023, the cathedral will be decorated with 80,000m of LED lights to light up the two bell towers.
From above, Notre Dame Cathedral appears magnificent in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. The entire structure is radiant in yellow light, with LED lights running along the bell tower, dome and walkways in the grounds. The dominant yellow tone not only highlights the ancient beauty of the church but also creates a warm, cozy feeling in the chilly night weather of Saigon.
When night falls, Notre Dame Cathedral stands out in the space, becoming a highlight that everyone passing by must look up at.
That is why, over the past few days, thousands of people have traveled here to admire the magnificence and grandeur of Notre Dame Cathedral during Christmas. “I am very impressed with the decoration of Notre Dame Cathedral this year. The golden lights spread across the bell tower and the grounds make me feel like I am standing in front of a majestic European building. The Christmas atmosphere here is very special, both warm and vibrant,” said Ms. Kim Anh (33 years old, living in District 3).
Ms. Minh Phuong (58 years old, living in District 1) shared that she has lived in Saigon since she was a child and has been attached to Notre Dame Cathedral since she was a little girl. According to her, every Christmas season, this place always maintains its solemnity but is no less brilliant. "The LED lighting system is very elaborately decorated, looking at it makes everyone feel excited and fascinated. These past few days, I took the opportunity to bring my grandchildren here to join in the joyful atmosphere and take some photos as souvenirs," Ms. Phuong said.

The area in front of Notre Dame Cathedral during Christmas is not only crowded with locals and tourists coming to admire, but also a bustling stop for double-decker buses carrying tourists. From the bus, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the church lit up with lights, immersing themselves in the vibrant festive atmosphere.
Notre Dame Cathedral was designed by architect J. Bourard. This is a unique architectural work with a 60.5m high basilica, of which the zinc tower and bell tower account for more than half, 26m and 11m high respectively. The major restoration project of Notre Dame Cathedral began on July 1, 2017, and is expected to be completed in 2027.
