What to notice
Look closely at the place and its story
01
Clandestine baptism tradition
The official route presents the well as a tradition connected with Fr. Zhou’s hidden ministry.
02
Careful evidence language
The association is devotional and historical tradition, not a claim that the surviving well can prove individual baptisms.

Editorial standard
This page records the site’s tradition as “Catholic.” That wording describes the nature of the claim and keeps devotional tradition distinct from independently verified history.
