Our Lady Of Red Sand Church In Tamil Nadu

Tamil Catholic devotees walk along the grounds of the Athisaya Manal Matha Church (Our Lady Of Red Sand Church) in Tuticorin (Thoothukudi), Tamil Nadu, India on August 28, 2017. The Athisaya Manal Matha Church was built in the First Century AD by St. Thomas (one of 12 disciples of Jesus Christ). According to ledged the church was buried beneath the sand for many years following a curse until in the year 1798 a shepherd hit his foot on the crucifix and discovered that a church was buried there. With the help of the village they excavated the church. The church has since been the site of may miracles and has become an important Catholic pilgrimage spot.
