Cathedral Church of the Resurrection
Historians say that in 1595 the first church in Lahore had built near Lahore Fort. In the era of the Mughal Empire, when Portuguese Jesuit missionaries were attending his court. Akbar invited it (1556-1605) because there were three Jesuit missions to his Mughal court. It was the third mission, and Father Jerome Xavier (1549-1617) led it when he arrived in Lahore in 1595. In 1595, Emperor Akbar granted formal Permission for the construction of a church near Lahore Fort. But it had closed on the order of Emperor Jahangir in 1614 and re-opened again in 1624. In 1632 Emperor Shah Jahan completely destroyed the Church. Various missions in Lahore had been continued living and preaching. Brithish Ruler again established this Church after two centuries in Lahore.
