Dear Annette,
Good Morning ! and belated Happy Feast ( s ) Yes you are absolutely right -
26th November is the day of consecration of our Mae de Deus Church - the
beautiful and miraculous goldplated statue of Mae de Deus ( which never
collects any dust etc according to late Mr. Saldanha himself who once himself
tried to clean the statue )
- this statue was brought from Daugim ( near Old Goa ) and different people
from various villages tried to lift the statue but could not but only when the
people of Saligao tried they miraculosly managed to carry the statue and bring
it to Saligao . When they reached Sonarbhatt they stopped overnight and placed
the statue in a makeshift chapel( which was later constructed at the junction
of the road leading to Mr.Saldanhas' house ) and carried her from there to our
Church where she is till date for the last 135 years . Every year we
commemorate this by having a ' cerenade' - mass followed by candlelight
procession to the church and back .
This year the Cerenade Mass was held in the Church and lots of people attended.
The next day -26th was the Feast of Consecration.
Once again a belated Happy Feast to one and all .

Kevin,
What Feast you ask! Huh! You do have a short memory! Werent you staying close
to or opposite that small "chapel" where every year on November 26th a
religious ceremony took place? (A.Peggy & others used to decorate etc.) & then
the devotees of Mae De Deus made their way to the Church from that point (in a
procession). Perhaps if you read Mel's book you will know about the
celebration at that particular chapel on 26th November.
Since 26th November, 2 Feasts have "arrived & departed" - Feast of St. Francis
Xavier (3rd December), Feast of Our Lady (8th December). So Happy Feast once
again to one & all (belated wishes).... "Goa-related" though not
"Saligao-related".
Have a good day. We worked just 2 days this week & we enjoyed the Eid
Holidays. We will be working only 3 days next week. Lucky us!
Annette
