Were you aware that the story of this Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n involves a temporary wooden structure and a generous land donation? This isn’t just a place of worship. It is a testament to faith and community spirit.
Let’s step closer to the Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n. It stands as a beacon for the Cao Dai community in the T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n ward of Bi\u00ean H\u00f2a city, \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai province. Its history is woven with threads of resilience. It also reflects the devotion of its followers.
Back in 1945, the Cao Dai faithful came together. They built a simple sanctuary. It was made of wood and brick. This humble structure served as their spiritual home in Ấp 3, x\u00e3 T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n. Over time, the temporary Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t deteriorated. The community had to find an alternative. They gathered in the house of C\u1ed1 Gi\u00e1o H\u1eefu Th\u01b0\u1ee3ng D\u01b0 Thanh. His house at 1/164 T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n ward became their new place for worship.
A turning point arrived in 2009. Đ\u1ea1o h\u1eefu Nguy\u1ec5n th\u1ecb Kim made a generous donation. She offered a piece of land measuring 1889.6 square meters. It was located in khu ph\u1ed1 1, T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n ward. This act of kindness paved the way for a new Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t. The construction was approved by the local authorities. The UBND t\u1ec9nh \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai gave its consent. The S\u1edf X\u00e2y d\u1ef1ng issued permit number 27/GPXD-SXD on March 4, 2014.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 29, Gi\u00e1p Ng\u1ecd. That’s May 27, 2014, on our Gregorian calendar. The An v\u1ecb Th\u00e1nh T\u01b0\u1ee3ng Thi\u00ean Nh\u00e3n ceremony occurred on June 20 nhu\u1ea7n, Đinh D\u1eadu. That’s August 11, 2017, by our reckoning.
Finally, the construction of the Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t was complete. The inauguration was celebrated on April 17, K\u1ef7 H\u1ee3i. That’s May 21, 2019. The ceremony was led by Ng\u00e0i Đ\u1ea7u S\u01b0 Th\u01b0\u1ee3ng T\u00e1m Thanh. He is the Ch\u1b0\u1edfng Qu\u1ea3n H\u1ed9i Th\u00e1nh Cao Đ\u00e0i T\u00f2a Th\u00e1nh T\u00e2y Ninh. Local government officials also attended the event. About 1,500 pilgrims from in and out of Đ\u1ed3ng Nai province came to celebrate.
The construction of Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n cost a total of 10,553,851,000 VNĐ. The project saw 11,384 days of labor contributed by the community.
As you stand before this Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t, remember the journey of faith. Remember the community’s hard work. Reflect on the generous donation that made it all possible. The Th\u00e1nh th\u1ea5t T\u00e2n V\u1ea1n is more than just a building. It’s a symbol of unity. It is a symbol of perseverance. It represents the enduring spirit of the Cao Dai community.
