Photo: St. Francis Xavier Church in the city of
Malacca
Built in 1849 by Reverend
Farve, a Frenchman, the Gothic towered church is
dedicated to St Francis Xavier. Known as the 'Apostle
to the East', St. Francis Xavier is well-remembered for
the missionary work spreading Catholicism to Southeast
Asia in the 16th century and it is crowded with
followers of the Christian faith during prayers and also
a historical landmark in Melaka.
