Pictured is the giant Christmas tree erected by Luu My parishioners.

    The Christmas tree has a height of 25 metres, and a diameter of 8 metres. It is made of five tons of steel and covered in more than 6,000 claypots of varying size. 

     The earthenware pots are unique products of Tru Son pottery village.

     Priest An Ton Hoang Trung Hoa says making the Christmas tree with earthenware pots will help to promote the unique traditional products of locals.

     As the claypots are fragile, they are attached to an iron frame. The exterior of the Christmas tree is decorated with colourful flash bulbs.

 The Christmas tree is set to be completed ahead of December 22 and be ready to welcome visitors on Christmas eve.
