Located in the capital’s Tejgaon, this illustrious church bears witness to many historical events. The grand cemetery, built during that time, still harbours as a resting place for the deceased. This monument of history and religion also received an honourable mention in French traveller Jean-Baptist Tavernier's famous book Travels in India. This old remnant of the past has newly been renovated, and can now house 1500 devotees at a mass. Standing at fifty-four feet high, the 338-year-old church is going to celebrate the diversity of our culture this Christmas.
