Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Manapad is a coastal village located in the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. This thinly populated village is deep rooted in the history of Tamil Nadu from time immemorial. It is about 58 kms. south of Tuticorin, which is one of the major sea ports of India.
History states that in 1540, a Portuguese trading vessel, while sailing around the Cape of Good Hope on its way to the East, encountered a violent storm splitting its sails and snapping the hind mast, leaving it at risk of foundering. The captain, who was devoted to the veneration of the Holy Cross, implored and entrusted the safety of the vessel and that of the crew to the crucified Christ. He also made a vow that he would construct a cross from a portion of the splintered mast and have it planted on the shore where they alighted in safety. By chance, the vessel, after having drifted for several days, sought safe haven near the shores of Manapad. |
