Churches
Front of St. Catherine

Saint Catherine is one of the oldest churches in the city of Canton. It was build by the lady Isaki Oye in 1632. She was of the first generation Christians in CRD, her conversion happened when she went on a trip outside of Canton River Delta to the Christian nations of the north. The nation composted then of almost zero Christians and so it was difficult to build her church. The construction lasted 26 years with her and 5 other people working on it almost every day. Those 5 others were friends who also converted to the christian faith due to her. When the lady her life came to an end she was buried inside the church.

The church has since then had some expansions with a hospital wing and a church garden. It is in the present one of the most visited churches in all of Canton River Delta.

Dōuist temples
