On Delhi’s lesser-known churches, and its most historic church
Edifices of stone. Stately domes. Long aisles. Sombre organ music. And an echoing silence that seems to sing and speak. Delhi's great churches strike awe with their architecture and history. Today, let us launch into Christmas Eve by offer ing an ode to two lesser-known churches—before arriving at the city’s greatest church.
Consecrated in 2010, the Catholic church of St Peter's in New Palam Vihar is topped with a modest cross. The walls inside are framed with woodcut images inspired from the final moments of Christ: “Jesus falls the third time,” “Jesus robbed of his garments,” “Jesus nailed to the cross,” “Jesus dies on the cross,” etc, The altar shows Jesus in white robes with two little winged angels in pink dresses.
