An iconic Christian Fairytale CSI Christian Wedding happened at the oldest St. George’s Cathedral Church, Chennai, Before talking about the Wedding Photography, I must tell the legacy of this beautiful historical place, YES!
St. George’s Cathedral is a Church of South India cathedral in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. The cathedral was built in 1815. It was stated that the church was completed by the people themselves with the aid of a lottery fund. St. George’s occupies an important place in the history of Christianity in India. The inauguration of the United Church of South India took place on 27th September 1947.
Since 1815, the church has grown significantly in various ways. St. George’s Church became prominent as the cathedral of Madras in 1835.
The stained glass windows of St. George’s Cathedral are a marvel by itself. On either side of the altar in vibrant colours are two panels describing two important events in the life of Jesus.
St. George’s Cathedral has a well knit structural organisation for management. The Trustees include senior members of the Cathedral appointed by the Bishop of Madras. The cathedral management works under the leadership of the Presbyter and Associate Presbyter. It is an elective, democratic system and everyone has her part to play.
At the left entrance to the cathedral is the Statue Of Daniel Corrie, the first Bishop of Madras (1835–1837). Associated with many schools, he is shown with an open Bible blessing an Indian boy in loincloth.
The Cathedral has eight bells. It’s presented to St. George’s Cathedral by Mr. G. Banbury during Christmas 1873. The chiming device was donated by Thomas Foulkes.
