The most representative example is Macau's oldest church, Sao Paolo (the ruins of St. Paul's). Its surviving stone facade is embellished with stone carvings not only of such Catholic images as angels and the Virgin Mary, but also of dragon-and-phoenix motifs and fishing boats, as well as Catholic phrases written in Chinese characters.
最典型的例子是建於十七世紀的聖保祿教堂（大三巴牌坊），牌坊上天主教的天使、聖母瑪利亞與龍鳳石刻、漁船、「鬼是誘人為惡，念死者無為罪」的中文字並列。
