Summary:
This is the main Anglican house of worship in the city where the bishop conducts Christmas service.St Thomas Cathedral is intricately interlinked with the history of Bombay. St Thomas Cathedral in Fort, which gives Churchgate its name, is the oldest British building in the city.This is Point Zero, where the pin falls in 'Bombay', from where distance in the city was measured in milestones.Inaugurated on Christmas Day 1718, St Thomas is set to celebrate its 300th anniversary on December 25 this year. The 'church' in Churchgate comes from the Cathedral being visible from the station. Scores of office goers from Fort and Churchgate come to sit silently and contemplate. MUMBAI: A popular song from the film Don (1978) that describes the sights and sounds of Mumbai jests how 'Bambai nagariya' has a "Church-gate" but the church itself is missing..
