Here is a list of some Churches in Kanpur that you might want to head over to on Christmas morning.
1. St. Francis Xavier’s Parish Church
Kanpur's St. Francis Xavier's Church holds a special place in the city. St. Francis Xavier's Church has a unique attractiveness as an island with splendour and splendour of its own because it is surrounded by roads on all four sides, which is uncommon in a geographic arrangement. Blessed with two schools on campus—St. Francis Xavier's Primary School and St. Francis Xavier's Intermediate College—the Church can educate and shape the future of a great number of children.

3. L.L.J.M. Methodist Church
Lezzie Laura Johnson Memorial Methodist Church was established in 1914. Lezee Johnson constructed the church in 1914.

The property also features a large, lush garden that is quite charming. Its windows are similarly colourful stained glass. The red facade of the church gives it a very Victorian feel, yet within is a simple, welcoming service.

4. All Souls Cathedral
The Kanpur Memorial Church, originally known as the All Souls' Church, is a church that belongs to the Church of North India, a united Protestant denomination. It was built in 1875 in honour of British valour during the Siege of Cawnpore. The entire church, designed in the Lombardic Gothic style, is tastefully done in vivid red brick with polychrome accents. There is only one gateway leading to the memorial garden, which is located east of the church. Henry Yule created a beautiful carved Gothic screen for it. A stunning sculpture of an angel by Baron Carlo Marochetti, bearing peace symbols in her crossed arms, stands in the heart of the piece.
