It may not be relevant today but at some point in time someone will be very thankful for your input.i will add the relevant info shortly. A question to all Should i start a section on villages, churches, temples, traditions of Goa. (Joel from Assagao had done a great series on villages some years ago and posted on Goacom.)

The right side of this arch is artistically carved and authentic gold plated altar dedicated to *Saint Bartolomeu the Apostle* (original feast day 24th August) The left side of this arch is artistically carved and authentic gold plated altar dedicated to *Saint Sebastian the Martyr* (original feast day 20thJanuary) The other two altars are placed on the sidewalls of the Church in the nave. The altar on the right is dedicated to “*Nossa Senhora de Boa Viajem*” meaning Our Lady of Safe Journey. The Statue of “ Nossa Senhora de Boa Morte” is placed in the altar box of this wooden altar.
