The Sheshan Basilica, officially the National Shrine and Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Sheshan (Chinese: 佘山進教之佑聖母大殿; pinyin: Shéshān jìnjiào zhī yòu shèngmǔ dàdiàn) and also known as Basilica of Mary, Help of Christians is a prominent Roman Catholic church in Shanghai, China. Its common name comes from its location on the western peak of She Shan Hill, located in Songjiang District, to the west of Shanghai's metropolitan area.Since the Cultural Revolution, the national shrine is the first historical basilica in Eastern Asia. It was previously called Zose Basilica in English, using the Shanghainese pronunciation of 佘山 (She Shan). Inside the shrine, the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Mary Help of Christians is venerated as the patroness of the basilica, along with the recently constructed image of Our Mother of Sheshan, both venerated by Chinese Catholics.
