St. John's Cathedral, Hong Kong

St. John's Cathedral is a cathedral, in Central, Hong Kong. Built in 1847, St. John's is a cathedral of the Anglican Communion. It is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. During World War II the Japanese occupiers turned the cathedral into a Shinto shrine, but it reverted to its original role as a cathedral after the war. Today it is the seat of the Archbishop and Primate of Hong Kong's Anglican (Episcopal) Church. The cathedral is a declared monument of Hong Kong; today it houses three beautiful stained glass windows, as well as a collection of British military colours, standards and guidons. The cathedral's weekly services are conducted mainly in English and Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese).
