Meet St. Mark Ji Tianxiang


St. Mark Ji Tianxiang (馬克冀天祥), pray for us!

  • St. Mark holding palm branches symbolizing victory associated with martyrdom, his foot standing over the opium pipe. This shows that his holiness triumphed over his addiction. 
  • The heron is a Chinese symbol of eternal life. 
  • The cross, over a gold peony design, signifies prosperity and honor in Chinese culture.* The cross surrounded by red azaleas is a Chinese symbol of longing for home.
