Earlier I read that this church is one of the best baroque architectural buildings of the Jesuits in India. Francis Xavier during his lifetime was an amazing man (I was especially impressed by the resurrection of a drowned boy). After his death, Francis Xavier became revered throughout the world. It's amazing how the mortal remains of Francis Xavier survive after all these years.
Millions of pilgrims (even people of different religions) come to see Xavier's body every 10 years. It is believed that the remains of the saint have healing power. The tomb of Francis Xavier was built for about 10 years and it is decorated with Florentine marble of various colors.
The basilica of Bom-Jesus is the place that any tourist who is in that place should visit. Now the Basilica of Jesus has the status of a UNESCO cultural heritage and a masterpiece of world architecture.
A very interesting description of your path to this place. I wish you to be able to visit there in 2024 and see Francis Xavier with your own eyes. I am sure that this place is worthy of any person's attention.
Thank you, I liked it
