Duy Khanh – Minh Nguyen 08:44, 2023/12/25
Every year on this occasion, both Catholic followers and non-Catholics flock to the well-known church in the heart of Hanoi to celebrate Christmas Eve.

People rushed to the festival commemorating the birth of Jesus in the central part of Hanoi on Christmas Day, which is observed worldwide and gaining popularity in Vietnam.

The bustling atmosphere was recorded at St. Joseph's Cathedral, a Catholic church in Hoan Kiem District. It’s a Gothic Revival church built in the late 19th century to serve the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hanoi.

Let’s explore the atmosphere at the renowned church on Christmas Eve.
