St. Mary's Church, located in the spiritual city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, is one of the oldest and most significant churches in the region.

Built in the 18th century, the church is a monument of historical and Christian religious importance. It offers a space of solace and peace to its visitors, amidst the bustling lanes of Varanasi, which is primarily known for its ghats, temples, and as a place for Hindu pilgrimage. The church embodies a serene environment which is a contrast to the energetic streets outside. Inside, the church features beautiful stained glass windows and intricately designed altars, which are a vision of art and history.
