We’ll begin at St. James’ Church, a calm and elegant landmark that has watched over Old Delhi for nearly two centuries. From there, stories unfold- of Mughal emperors curious about Christian faith, of missionaries setting up schools, and of St. Stephen’s College in its earliest days. But this isn’t only about stone and mortar. It’s about how people celebrated, adapted, and carried their traditions through changing times.

You’ll hear how Christmas lights up the streets of Shahjahanabad, and how bakeries in the area bring out their best plum cakes, biscuits, and savory snacks for the season. It’s a story of community life, where faith, friendship,s and celebrations keep traditions alive across generations.

 

What to expect:

  • Visit Old Delhi’s oldest church and historic institutions.
  • Trace how Christianity found its place under the Mughals.
  • Explore Christmas traditions- past and present- in the walled city.
  • Taste some delicious Christmas-related foods eaten in Old Delhi
  • Discover a story of faith, food, and belonging tucked inside Delhi’s busiest neighbourhood.
