Located more than 100 kilometres south of Hanoi, the Pham Phao Catholic village in Nam Dinh province’s Hai Hau district has a long history of traditional bronze casting. Local craftsmen kept the passion burning by creating unique bronze trumpets, which came to play a significant role in the spiritual lives of local Catholics.
A village in northern Vietnam’s Nam Dinh Province has long been known for its villagers’ skill in crafting and repairing trumpets. And the closer Christmas came, the faster the trumpet repairers had to work.
In their daily life, Phạm Pháo villagers are just normal people. But when their parish has an event, they will transform into artists with the ability to play trumpets like professionals.
