St. Paul's Cathedral Church in Kolkata: aerial journey over Calcutta

Описание: An aerial journey of St. Paul's Cathedral Church in Kolkata.

St Paul’s Cathedral is acknowledged as the first Episcopal Church of the eastern world. It is an Anglican cathedral of the Church of North India. Besides, being a religious site, the cathedral is also an architectural marvel. St. Paul’s Cathedral is 247 feet in length, 81 feet in width and 114 feet at transept. The flagstaff rises to a height of 175 feet above ground level. The St. Paul’s Cathedral took eight years to be built at a whopping cost of Rs. 5 lakhs (Five Hundred Thousand rupees) and was finally consecrated by Bishop Wilson on 8th October 1847. The cathedral’s tower is modelled on the “Bell Harry” tower of Canterbury Cathedral and the cathedral overall resembled England’s Norwich Cathedral with three Gothic stained glass windows and two frescoes in Florentine Renaissance style. You would also find a library above the western porch with a modest collection of Bishop Wilson’s collection and a marble bust of the Bishop. There are several sculptures and memorials like the “Episcopal Throne” and an ornamented wall – Reredo, carved with incidents from the life of St. Paul.

Footage of an aerial view of the St. Paul Cathedral, many other nearby buildings, and lush green trees can be seen in the foreground. St. Paul's Cathedral in Kolkata (Calcutta) is considered to be the first Episcopal Cathedral Church in India. The cathedral gets a lot of visitors, especially during Christmas. It is the mother church of Diocese of Calcutta in the church of North India.
