Holy Trinity Church Marks 120 Years in Delhi
A very old church in Delhi, called Holy Trinity Church, recently had its 120th birthday party!
It was built a long, long time ago by a lady named Rev Mary Rosetta Maitland to remember her husband.
The church is special because it's still standing strong, with no bricks out of place, and is a historical landmark.
During a difficult time called the Partition, the church helped many people who needed food and a safe place to stay, no matter their religion.
Today, people from all backgrounds still visit to feel peace and hope.
It's a symbol of love and togetherness in the city.
Holy Trinity Church in Delhi celebrated its 120th anniversary on Friday.
The church, built in 1905 by Rev Mary Rosetta Maitland, stands as a historical landmark in Shahjahanabad.
It has remained structurally intact for over a century.
During the Partition, the church provided shelter, food, and clothing to refugees of all faiths.
The church continues to be a symbol of love, peace, and fraternity, attracting visitors from diverse communities.
