Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Introduction The peak period of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Shanghai was after the Japanese invasion of China's northeast in 1931. At that time, foreign Eastern Orthodox believers gathered in Shanghai from across the country, and there were as many as seven churches. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, most foreign residents left the country, and the number of Eastern Orthodox believers gradually declined. Only the church on Xinle Road remains and is very well preserved.
