Focusing on the architecture and relics of the Anglican Church of Ganghwa and Onsuri, this study examined modern religious architecture and art in terms of the architectural form and the arrangement and introduction of sacred objects such as altars, icons, and paintings that adorn the interior, compared to those of the Catholic Hanok churches built at the same time. Existing previous studies on modern churches built from the 1890s to the 1920s were limited to architectural history, so this study aimed to present basic data for restoration by studying the paintings and icons inside modern churches as part of the study of modern Christian art. In particular, attention was paid to the 14 Stations of the Cross paintings remaining in major Hanok churches, including Ganghwa Cathedral, which are being promoted for World Heritage registration. The Stations of the Cross paintings of the Anglican Church of Ganghwa, the Catholic Church of Iksan Hwasan, the Catholic Church of Anseong Gupo-dong, the Seosan Sangheung-ri Church, the Jangsu Subun Church, and the Jinan Eoeun Church are similar in terms of composition, style, frame shape, and print format, and are good examples for examining how the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church in the early 20th century attempted to spread religious rituals and beliefs by using specific paintings to magnify the interior space of traditional Korean arhictecture. Although the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church are different denominations, it is importantto note that they attempted to share the form and content of prayers and increase common faith through the 14 Stations of the Cross paintings in the early missionary work. It is thought that the Stations of the Cross paintings that were introduced to modern Korea were similar paintings that were spread in Europe in the form of prints and distributed to each cathedral and public office through the Missions étrangères de Paris, MEP. Modern Western paintings, including the Stations of the Cross paintings, could have served as a means of spreading Western culture and art to modern Korean believers as a visual culture, along with the function of spreading religious ideas and forms of liturgy.
