I am not going to talk about what this church is about and how was it built and who built it and any other history of it. I am taking this opportunity to share with you some of the pictures I've taken today when I was in it. The structure was amazing. If you would like to find out further detail of it, feel free to find out from Wikipedia.
这一次的分享绝对不是历史文物/建筑物的介绍。这种建筑物介绍，网上一摞摞。今天纯碎给大家分享一下我今天下午在教堂拍的照片。如果大家想进一步了解该建筑物的不妨百度一下。

# Front entrance with twin spire
## 教堂正面的双吊钟塔

Since years ago when I was still a very young person, I always wondering why do they build towers beside the church. Do they really put a sniper there like those in the combat movies? Later we know, it was for the bells. And sniper do make use of the tower during war so they could have a better view of their enemies.
还记得我年纪还很小的时候经常都会问，为什么天主堂会有塔在大门前两旁，是否真的好像战争电影里的情节，为了准备战争时可以隐藏追击射手在塔上面而建这些塔呢？当然，我们都长大了知道这个塔是用来装钟的。遇上战争，这些很高的钟塔自然成为追击枪手喜欢藏的地点，因为可以看到更远的敌人。

# West wing
## 西翼

There's been many occassion I asked myself why do churches build two extra sides? Now I know these are the arms of the cross. The entire church building are made of a CROSS.
一直以来我也常问自己为什么传统教堂都喜欢分两个翼出来？如果建筑成方块形状还不更节省土地，可以装更多教徒。然后看过了建筑物的构图后才觉得，原来从上往下开，整个建筑物就是一枚十字架。

# View from the cross section towards main entrance
## 从建筑物中央望向大门口

Standing at the cross section, which is about center of the building looking towards the main entrance.
从建筑物十字架的中央出往大门口望过去的感觉就是这个。

# View from the cross section towards altar
## 从建筑物中央望向祭坛

Standing at the cross section, looking towards the altar. Now it all make sense, Jesus statue is there.
从建筑物十字架中央往祭坛望过去的景象。耶稣的雕像和十字架正好是这个建筑物十字架的顶部，也就是耶稣被钉时头部的地方。现在一目了然了，耶稣的雕像位置就是祭坛上。

# The altar
## 祭坛
![gossg9d514.png](https://img.esteem.ws/gossg9d514.png)
Behind the altar wall, the back of the church has a series of stain glass imported from Paris. During day time when sun shine through, these stain glass produced marvelous messages.
祭坛后面的墙壁上已经酿上了从巴黎进口的高级彩色玻璃。白天是阳光从玻璃外面照入教堂里面超级雄伟。

# These are some of the oldest wood can find
## 古董级别的超级老木头

These are some of the oldest wood chair we can find in Kuala Lumpur. No they're not as old as the church, the modern building was established in 1954, hence these chairs could be made around that year.
这些椅子都已经有一段很长的历史了。虽然不能说上百年，但是也已经是古董级别了。如果根据这个新建筑物，是1954年落成的，那么这些椅子也可能是那个年代制造了。

# Candle rack has been regularly cleaned
## 蜡烛架子经常清理显得很整洁
![uqysr1r0et.png](https://img.esteem.ws/uqysr1r0et.png)
I've been to several churches around Kuala Lumpur, this church's candle rack is rather clean. I believe they have someone clean those wax on a regular basis.
在吉隆坡的天主堂我也有到过好几间，不过这一间连蜡烛槽也是清理得紧紧有条。依我看教堂有请了人回来打扫，也是辛苦。

# The archbishop is here
## 主教的纪念牌就在建筑物的中央
![n2nqpw8k6x.png](https://img.esteem.ws/n2nqpw8k6x.png)
This is the part that make the whole thing mysterious. Most churches has burial place for their prominent Catholics. I don't know about others, whenver I walk through this plague(shall I call it tombstone?), I would literally walk beside it.
这一个就实在让人有一些不安。不管你是不是教徒，总之这里葬了一个神父我觉得大家都有责任去尊重。每次如果有机会要走过这里，我总是小心的闪过去，尽量不要踏到这个“纪念牌”？
