Basilica of Our Lady of Good HealthYou will be picked up from your hotel in Thanjavur in the morning and driven to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health. The origins of the church can be traced back to the mid-16th century. Three miracles were reported from the area around the Basilica - the apparition of Mary and the Christ child to a slumbering shepherd boy, the curing of a lame man and the rescue of Portuguese sailors from a violent storm. The Basilica was finally built by Portuguese sailors. Built in the Gothic style, the Basilica contains three chapels. The shrine started as a thatched chapel in the mid-sixteenth century and became a parish church in 1771 when the Catholics in India were under persecution from the Dutch. In 1962 it was granted the special status of a Minor Basilica by Pope John XIII. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to fixed point / your hotel.
