INDIA: CALCUTTA MOTHER TERESA LIES IN STATE AT ST THOMAS CHURCH
Natural Sound
Mother Teresa's body on Sunday was placed in one of the largest Catholic churches in Calcutta to lie in state.
The body was moved from the headquarters of her worldwide charity to accommodate the throngs of Indians who have already begun to pay their final respects.
A state funeral is set for next Saturday.
One day after Princess Diana's coffin was carried past anguished mourners, Mother Teresa departed her charity and passed alongside her distraught followers.
Mother Teresa's body was carried on Sunday through the streets of Calcutta to a larger church, St Thomas, where her countless admirers will be able to pay final respects.
Missionary nuns and altar boys carrying candles and a crucifix surrounded the open coffin as pall bearers placed it in an ambulance for the journey to St Thomas Catholic church.
Mother Teresa will lie in state at the church, one of Calcutta's largest, for the next week.
The nuns of her order decided the convent chapel at her headquarters was too small to accommodate crowds.
As Mother Teresa arrived at the church, thousands of mourners greeted her arrival.
Her body was quickly placed under a glass case on a four-foot platform draped in white and blue cloth.
People began to file by, to pay their last respects.
A line of mourners began forming before dawn, and by 9am snaked a half mile along the sidewalk in front of St. Thomas' chapel
Thousands of people were expected to file past Mother Teresa's body at the church, which is in a fashionable Calcutta neighborhood that contrasted with the slums where she toiled during life.
Mother Teresa, who retained her simplicity and humility despite an avalanche of international fame, died on Friday night after a heart attack, surrounded by grieving sisters of her order.
The site of Mother Teresa's funeral was not announced.
But she is expected to be buried at the convent in central Calcutta that was her home and also formed the headquarters of her Missionaries of Charity order.

St. Paul's Cathedral is a CNI (Church of North India) Cathedral of Anglican background in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, noted for its Gothic architecture. It is the seat of the Diocese of Calcutta. The cornerstone was laid in 1839, the building was completed in 1847. It is said to be the largest cathedral in Kolkata and the first Episcopal Church in Asia. It was also the first cathedral built in the overseas territory of the British Empire. The edifice stands on Cathedral Road on the island of attractions to provide for more space for the growing population of the European community in Calcutta in the 1800s.
The cathedral was built to replace St. John's Church, which had become too small for Calcutta's growing European community; by 1810 there were 4,000 British men and 300 British women in Bengal.
In 1819, at the request of Marquess of Hastings, then Governor-General of Bengal, architect William Nairn Forbes produced a design for the proposed cathedral; however, it was not accepted as it was deemed too expensive to build.[4] Bishop Middleton suggested as a site for the new cathedral the part of the city now known as Fives Court, where the cathedral now stands. In 1762 the area had been described as a forest so wild that it harbored tigers, and, at first, it was regarded as too far south to serve as a location for the cathedral.[6] Middleton died in 1822 before building plans took shape. The next three bishops, Heber, James and Turner, all died after brief tenures, and it was not until 1832, under Bishop Daniel Wilson, that the project to build the cathedral was revived.
Following acquisition of 7 acres (3 ha) of land to build the cathedral, a Cathedral Committee was set up to build it] The military engineer, Major William Nairn Forbes (1796–1855) (who later became a Major General of the Bengal Engineers), at the request of Bishop Wilson, designed the cathedral with the assistance of architect C. K. Robinson, modelling the tower and spire upon Norwich Cathedral. On 8 October 1839, construction was initiated by laying the cornerstone. The cathedral was completed after eight years and consecrated on 8 October 1847. The consecration ceremony, to mark which Queen Victoria had sent ten pieces of silver-gilt plate for the cathedral, was largely attended by Europeans and local people.
The cathedral was built in Gothic revival style, but with modern construction elements, including an iron framework. It was built with a chancel, a sanctuary, chapels and a 201 feet (61 m) tall spire; the cost of construction of the edifice was then Rs. 4,35,669. The cathedral can accommodate 800 to 1,000 people.
The cathedral is well maintained in a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
People of all religious denominations can visit the church. Service is held regularly. Christmas is a special occasion when a large number of people assemble to participate in the festivities.
The cathedral's interior has a display of many plastic art forms and memorabilia. There is an episcopal throne on the southern flank of the altar and a decorative redo or wall on its back side dated to 1879, it has carvings of episodes related to the life of St. Paul, the Annunciation, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Flight into Egypt, all the work of Sir Arthur Blomfield. The parish hall within the premises of the cathedral is the venue for holding social functions. The eastern wall in the cathedral has paintings of the life of St. Paul, painted by Blomfield in 1886. Also notable is the font, with its sculpture of Bishop Heber in a kneeling posture, The cathedral's organ, with 41 stops, made by Henry Willis and Sons of London, is still in use.

City of Joy | Tour of St. John's Church Kolkata 2019
St. John's Church, originally a cathedral, was among the first public buildings erected by the East India Company after Kolkata (Calcutta) became the effective capital of British India.[1] It is located at the North-Western corner of Raj Bhavan, and served as the Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta till 1847, when the see was transferred to St. Paul's Cathedral. Construction of the building, modelled on St Martin-in-the-Fields of London,[2] started in 1784, with Rs 30,000 raised through a public lottery,[3] and was completed in 1787. It is the third oldest church in the city, next to the Armenian and the Old Mission Church.[4]
The land for the St. John's Church was donated by the Maharaja Nabo Kishen Bahadur, the founder of the Shovabazar Raj Family.The foundation stone was laid by Warren Hastings, the Governor General of India on 6 April 1784. Two marble plaques at the entrance mark the two historic events.
Built by architect James Agg, the St John's church is built with a combination of brick and stone and was commonly known as the Pathure Girja[4] (Stone Church). Stone was a rare material in the late 18th century Kolkata. The stones came from the medieval ruins of Gour, and were shipped down the Hooghly River. The minutes book in the church office tell in detail the story of how the ruins of Gaur were robbed to build St John's church.[2]
St John's Church Kolkata
The church is a large square structure in the Neoclassical architectural style. A stone spire 174 ft tall is its most distinctive feature. The spire holds a giant clock, which is wound every day.[3]
One of the driving forces behind the construction of the cathedral was Chaplain William Johnson, the husband of Begum Johnson.
Job Charnock Mausoleum
On 24 August 1690 an ambitious trader, Job Charnock, of the British East India Company landed in the village of Sutanuti (present day North Calcutta) never to return. Although Charnock died two years later, but he combined the three villages of Sutanuti, Govindopur & Kolikata to form the city of Calcutta.
The octagonal Moorish style tomb was erected by Charnock's son in law Charles Ayer. Built of stones brought all the way from Pallavaram near Chennai, which later came out to be known as Charnockite.[9]
The grave also contains the body of Charnock's wife and several other people, including the famous surgeon William Hamilton
The Epitaph of Charnok's grave is in latin. The English translation is: In the hands of God Almighty, Job Charnock, English knight and recently the most worthy agent of the English in this Kingdom of Bengal, left his mortal remains under this marble so that he might sleep in the hope of a blessed resurrection at the coming of Christ the Judge. After he had journeyed onto foreign soil he returned after a little while to his eternal home on the 10th day of January 1692. By his side lies Mary, first-born daughter of Job, and dearest wife of Charles Eyre, the English prefect in these parts. She died on 19 February AD 1696–7.[10]

St. Paul's Cathedral is a CNI Cathedral of Anglican background in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, noted for its Gothic architecture. It is the seat of the Diocese of Calcutta. The cornerstone was laid in 1839; the building was completed in 1847

In the 1897 earthquake the cathedral suffered damage and was refurbished. In the subsequent massive earthquake of 1934, when Calcutta was devastated, the cathedral's steeple tower collapsed.[2][10] It was reconstructed to a revised design.[3] Following the 1934 Calcutta earthquake, the tower was rebuilt along the lines of the central Bell Harry tower of Canterbury Cathedral.[3] On its completion, St. Paul's replaced St. John's Church as the cathedral.[3] The cathedral also has a statue of Bishop Heber (1783–1826), who was the Second Bishop of Calcutta; the statue was sculpted by Francis Leggatt Chantrey. The Bishop's House across the street is also architecturally notable.[7]
The cathedral is well maintained in a serene and peaceful atmosphere. People of all religious denominations can visit the church. Service is held regularly. Christmas is a special occasion when a large number of people assemble to participate in the festivities.
