EspañolSt.Thomas Mount...Chennai
Title:
St.Thomas Mount...Chennai
Description:
Between the 14th and 15th centuries, the church fell to ruins and thus the Portuguese moved the remains of the Saint to a new tomb and built a new Church. However in 1893 the Church was demolished again and a new Cathedral was built in 1896, which exists even today. In 1956 the Cathedral was elevated to the status of Basilica as a tribute to the Martyred St. Thomas. He preached and travelled the Malabar Coast and Coromandel Coast of the country. St. Thomas was a highly respectable personality in Tamil Nadu. He was very popular in South of India somewhere between the 52 and 72 AD. It is said that he used to live in a cave on a hill. He spent the last years of his life at a small hill that is known as the Little Mount area of today. He believed to have been played foul of the authorities. He escaped from his cave to take shelter on a nearby hill, but here he was shot by an arrow and died. Since then the Hill where he had died has become St. Thomas Mount.
