Review:
The Church of Saint Francis Xavier is located in the north-west of Viti Levu Island and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in religious art. The European-style architecture is an unusual find in Fiji, but it is the unusual frescoed interior that makes this church an attraction. The first thing you will notice as you enter the church is the lack of pews – instead, congregants sit or kneel on woven grass mats in the Fijian tradition. The frescoes behind the alter are very special – although they are Italianate in character they feature a dark-skinned Christ, Fijian, and Indian figures, as well as other Fijian emblems including a cava bowl and tabua.
