Located east of ParliamentHouse in New Delhi, the Cathedral Church of
Redemption was built in eight years and was completed in 1935. It was
designed by architect Henry Medd. Lord Irwin, the then viceroy, was so
impressed with its high vaulted arches and subtle curves that became
known as "Viceroy Church. Later, when the Viceroy escaped a near-fatal
accident in 1929 when an attempt was made to blow up the train, which
presented the picture in the east end and a silver cross to the church
as a gesture of thanksgiving toGod for saving his life.
The linear plain exterior ofthe church are in contrast with the high
rounded arches inside. The church's spiritual aura is reinforced by
the light coming through the windows of a crescent and a group of
angels who look down from the curved roof over the altar. regular mass
takes place at the Cathedral Church of Redemption on Sunday mornings.
Apart from this, the cathedral also hosts concerts, religious
festivalslike Christmas and Easter. It also maintains a staff choir,
called the Capital City Minstrels. You can pickthese concerts of
choral music and carol singing at times and religious holidays./
