About Christ Church in Shimla
Christ Church in Shimla is the second oldest church in all of India and is constructed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is located in the area known as The Ridge in Shimla and is a popular tourist spot apart from being a revered place of worship. Towards the night the church is lit up in a beautiful way, but during Christmas and Easter celebrations, it is decorated like a bride about to walk down the aisle. Midnight mass is also held here, and prayer services are held in both Hindi and English.
Architecture of Christ Church
With its Neo-Catholic style, the architecture of Christ Church is quite glorious in appearance. The most striking features of this architectural marvel are its windows, which are decked with brass plaques and colored glasses. Moreover, these windows represent hope, faith, charity, patience, humility, and fortitude. Besides that, the 90 feet towers, five tubular bells, and a clock are also quite an attraction.
