快速参考概要 The Ruins of St. Paul's facade, built in 1602, features a complex arrangement of symbols, including the Pelican in Her Piety, which has been interpreted as a representation of Christ's sacrifice and the Eucharist. This visual theology, intended to convey Christian doctrine to a diverse audience, reflects the missionary efforts of the Catholic Church in 17th-century Macau. The use of such symbols, drawn from biblical and mythological sources, demonstrates the Church's adaptability in evangelizing the local population, and highlights the significance of the Ruins of St. Paul's as a cultural and historical landmark.
