The largest Catholic neighborhood in Saigon is filled with Christmas atmosphere

In the days leading up to Christmas, Pham The Hien Catholic Quarter - one of the largest Catholic quarters in Saigon - has become bright with sparkling lights. Many structures and miniature landscapes are delicately decorated, creating a sparkling space, making this Catholic quarter a check-in destination not to be missed during the Christmas holiday.

Many people say that if you want to know if Christmas is here, just go all the way to Pham The Hien Street (District 8, Ho Chi Minh City). It is not wrong, because on this street there are 5 adjacent parishes: Binh Thai, Binh An Thuong, Binh An Ha, Binh Thuan and Binh Son parishes, so every year-end, this place is always bustling, busy preparing to decorate buildings to welcome Christmas.

From late November to early December, parishes and religious areas are bustling with activity as people rush to prepare for Christmas. Unique structures such as giant grottos, waterfalls, miniature landscapes, and Christmas trees are meticulously cared for and decorated, creating a bright and warm atmosphere.

*The giant grotto at Binh An Thuong Church also attracts many people and tourists to admire.*

*Besides parishes, many families also decorate Christmas scenes in front of their houses. These locations also attract many families to check-in and take souvenir photos.*

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh (66 years old, District 8), a parishioner living in Pham The Hien parish, decorating for Christmas has become an annual tradition for the parishioners. Residents and tourists can drive along Pham The Hien street and see beautifully decorated parishes.

Residents of Pham The Hien Street revealed that on December 24 and 25, the Catholic neighborhood will organize many exciting activities to welcome the Christmas season. Visitors and residents participating in these days will experience impressive and sophisticated performances, promising to bring unique and unforgettable experiences.
