Summary
DescriptionSt. Anne's Church, Boxab.png |
English: St. Anne's Church at Boxab, a small town perched at the east slope of Mount Konka, in the county of Chagsam, Garzê Tibetan Prefecture of Western Sichuan (on the border of Sichuan and East Tibet). Boxab being the Tibetan name of this town, which is known in Chinese as Mosimien, Mosymien, or Moxi. The latter is derived from Rma language, of the Rrmea people traditionally living in the borderlands of Sichuan, Tibet, and Kokonorian Tartary. This small church, at the time belonging to the Apostolic Vicariate of Tibet (now Roman Catholic Diocese of Kangding), was initially built as a wooden chapel by missionaries of the Paris Foreign Missions Society at the end of the 19th century, referred to as chapelle en bois de Mgr Giraudeau (Pierre-Philippe Giraudeau, Apostolic Vicar of Tibet and Tatsienlu). It was falling apart in 1930. The façade, more exposed to the inclement weather of the seasons, was falling into ruins, the building was no longer sufficient for the needs of worship. According to a missionary report, Joseph-Paul Ménard (1889–1932), in charge of the district of Boxab, undertook the task of expanding and restoring the chapel. The plank walls gave way to brick walls and a new façade, in the local Sichuanese-Tibetan style combined with neo-Gothic taste, topped with a bell tower, was admired by the Christian and even non-Christian population. This new church was solemnly blessed on the Octave of Saint Anne, patron saint of the district. See also "Catholic Church in Sichuan" and "Catholic Church in Tibet". |
