Holy Family Church Taipei Introduction
Xinsheng South Road has been nicknamed the "Road to Heaven" due to the concentration of many religious sanctuaries, temples, and places of worship along this street. From south to north, there are various establishments such as Huai'en Church, True Light Church, Mosque, Holy Family Church, Taipei Church, and Methodist Church. Different religions coexist on the same Xinsheng South Road, each offering its unique characteristics that are worth visiting. Holy Family Church is located across from Da'an Forest Park, featuring a cross-shaped design when viewed from above. At night, it emits a soft white glow under the illumination of lights, creating a noble and pure atmosphere that draws people towards God. The church stands approximately 63 feet tall, is constructed without columns, and follows a tent-like architectural style, which eliminates the feeling of spatial pressure and visual obstacles, facilitating spiritual calmness and elevation of the heart. Inside, the church creatively utilizes colored glass and natural light, creating a sacred ambiance that feels like entering a holy place, helping to clear away worldly distractions. The 18 stained glass windows depicting biblical stories were brought from Belgium in 1998 and are over a hundred years old, works created by the famous French artist Louis Lévèque. Each piece of stained glass includes explanations of the biblical stories, making it worth reading for both knowledge and appreciating the beautiful artworks.
