A Road Trip to Remember: From Hosur to Velankani | Epic Road Trip

Hi Friends, Welcome back to my You Tube Channel

I hope you all are doing well; it has been a long time since I posted a video on You Tube Channel, Got too busy with my office schedule & work. This video is about my recent visit to Velankanni Shrine which is based in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. A brief about this church is given below.

The Velankanni Church, also known as the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health, is located in the town of Velankanni, around 12 kilometres south of Nagapattinam. It is considered one of the most prominent Christian pilgrimage centres in India.

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Heavenly Mother. It is believed that the Virgin Mary appeared at this place along with Infant Jesus around the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. The first apparition of Mother Mary was at Matha Kulam (or Our Lady’s Tank) to a milk vendor boy.

The second apparition is believed to be at Naduthittu to a lame boy. Our Lady is also said to have miraculously saved Portuguese sailors from a violent sea at Velankanni.The Velankanni Church is an imposing structure with three chapels within its confines.

The church was extended on the southern side in the year 1928 while the northern side underwent extension in the year 1933. An extension was made to the Basilica in the year 1974-75 keeping in mind the design of the Basilica in Lourdes in France.

The church is open on all days from 5 AM to 9 PM. Daily service at Church includes masses given in Tamil, Malayalam and English. Devotees can also attend Novena Prayers, Rosary and Evening prayers.

For more information, you can contact the church office at the following address: Very Rev.Fr.A.M.A.Prabakar (Rector), Shrine Basilica, Vailankanni - 611 111. Nagapattinam District - Tamilnadu, INDIA
