Cathedral Church of the Resurrection is an ancient church located in front of the Lahore High Court on Mall Road, Lahore. It was built from 1877 to 1887 for about 10 years.
This church is the seat of the Lahore representative of the organization "Church of Pakistan". The building is a beautiful example of English-style architecture. It was built by George Gilbert Scott and his son. In 1898, the length of the building's two tall towers was increased. The tower on the left has a clock and a bell, while on the right, there are 6 ancient clocks. Inside the hall, there are more than 20 high pillars. The hall is 226 feet long, 152 feet wide and about 65 feet high. It has a seating capacity of more than 800 people. Its construction is made of red bricks and grey stones.
At one time, because of the weathercock installed on it, the people of Lahore used to call it "Kukkar Church"

A treasure of the cathedral is the ancient Saint Thomas Cross of Saint Thomas Christians excavated in 1935 near the site of the ancient city of Sirkap, although its antiquity is disputed . The structure is also well known for its stained glass windows, pipe organ, and a clock that dates back to 1862.

Originally the Church was to have eight change-ringing bells, however only six arrived from England. They were cast in 1903 by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. The largest bell weighs a ton and used to vibrate the foundations. Until the installation of a peal of twelve bells at St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore in 2019 they were the only 'ringable' peal of church bells on the whole continent of Asia. There is another peal of bells at the Church of the Holy Name in Pune, India, however these are considered 'unringable' because the tower is cracked, and could not withstand the stresses associated with change ringing.
