Religious Sites
Being a major trading
port for over 300 years and conquered or controlled by any number
of foreign it is not surprising that Melaka has so many different
and distinct historical religious sites to visit. What is surprising
is how many are still functioning and providing worship services
to the faithful (the youngest of these, St. Francis Xavier Church
is more than 150 years old! The oldest Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is
more than 350 years old and still receiving worshippers.
Not only does this point to vitality of Melaka but also the peace
and harmony in which the people have lived for generations. That
in and of itself is quite remarkable.
