Photo showing the name "列聖宮" (Palace of the Saints) spelled out on a pewter altar vase. The Palace of the Saints is not dedicated to any religion. It is essentially an expression of traditional Chinese philosophy and customs, recognizing virtues through paying respect and honour to the deserving. In this way, people are encouraged toward worthy actions. Main alter and shrine of the Palace of the Saints were created in South China and brought to Victoria in 1885. After serving for many years in the CCBA headquarters at 560 Fisgard Street, the Palace of the Saint was relocated to the Chinese Public School on the third-floor meeting hall in May 1966 in Victoria, B.C.
