Catholic Cultural Heritage
Culture is a social and historical phenomenon, the product of human activity through many centuries, and a deposit of human society and history. With over two thousand years of history and tradition, the Catholic Church offers a rich diversity of cultural heritage with its devotions, liturgy, processions, and historical saints.
“Catholic Cultural Heritage” looks at the diverse cultural heritage that is closely connected to the Catholic Church and the local Church. Through this diverse cultural heritage, one is able to understand and treasure its valuable history and worth. Only by rooting ourselves in the past can we look forward to the future and do a good job of "inheriting".
