[Goanet] I didn’t know Zuvemkars are called Benddekars.. JoeGoaUk ref. Chandorcar Redde (He buffaloes) == On Jan. 6 Cansaulim/Cuelim, Chandor, Verem Reis Magos celebrate 3 kings feast. At Cuelim, the 3 kings come on horse backs Where as at Chandor, they used to come on baffalloe's back Could it be for this reason, they/Chandor are called REDDE ? Note: Mind you, there are reports that Cansalcars too used REDDE on the feast for the 3 kings. One of them/king got drowned in Pali Tollem (Velsao Pale) About 430 years ago the whole of Velsao was also part of Cansaulim with just one Church. Velsao Church is about 143 years younger than Cansaulim Church.
Velsao Church is about 12 years older than Chandor Church Cansaulim Church on the 3 kings feast day http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk15/3069671665/ 3 kings on horse back http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk16/3175537244/ Velsao Church http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk1/2762833876/ pale Tollem / Lake where one King drowned with 3 kings chapel view http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk8/2171531246/sizes/l/ Chandor Church on the feast day http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukchurches/4250746738/ 3 new kings of chandor 2010 http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk23/4250736186/ More info on village ADD Navam, check here http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2010-August/197617.html joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
