Abstract

This study is an attempt to explore, investigate and analyze the origin, growth, development and history of Christian churches and its architecture in Lahore. It further encapsulates that Churches in Pakistan are not only an inescapable feature of the landscape of our major cities and town; they elegantly portray the religious diversity and well-being of our vibrant Christian minority. It also navigates that their distinctive architecture attracts the locals and tourist alike. This research work presents fact finding analysis that the Christian churches are not just the beautiful building. They are an important part of our cultural history, mostly well preserved and documented. They tell the story of the colonial rulers and the Christians in this part of the world. The new churches demonstrate a happy blend of modern and indigenous trends and stand in harmony with the surroundings like the communities who share a common history, a common culture and collective aspirations as Pakistanis.
