The church's name was replaced with “Follow the Party, Obey the Party, and Be Grateful to the Party,”
BitterWinter.org (November 25) writes that the church was built for over $ 140,000 this year with the believers' money.
At the officials' order, a central painting of Our Lady was discarded into a dark corner of the church and replaced by a portrait of Chinese president Xi Jinping. Propaganda slogans surround the picture on both sides.
Later, the keys to the church were confiscated and the place of worship closed.
