St. John's Cathedral, Nazareth

The grand structure of St. John's Cathedral features stone pillars, stained glass windows depicting biblical stories, and a tall tower with a neon cross.

The cathedral's foundation began with Rev. J.C. Kohloff's land purchase in 1803, leading to multiple construction phases before the current building's dedication in 1928.

The cathedral serves as the center of the Thoothukudi-Nazareth Diocese, hosting major Christian celebrations including Easter, Christmas, and All Saints' Day throughout the year.

Regular worship services take place in the cathedral, which includes facilities such as a baptismal tub, central pulpit, and bronze eagle-shaped lectern.
