Pontifical Chrism Mass (Novus Ordo) in Shanghai
Some photos from D. Shanghai - Chrism Mass - linked to by Father John Zuhlsdorf, 163 of them in all — 圣周三徐家汇教堂圣油弥撒全记录！！！
My experience has been that in Asia the Novus Ordo Missae is genereally celebrated with the same reverence and solemnity seen in the photos linked to above. Twenty-five centuries of Confucianism have left an indelible mark on the peoples here. Thus, the Mass of Paul VI was not met with resistance by Asian Catholics, out of respect for authority, and the importance placed on ritual and custom have left in place much of what was more fully expressed in the Traditional Latin Mass.
