Visit to City of Kochin......

A new church in the city of Kochi St. George Church.....it is now a tourist attraction but place of prayer and devotion....a lot of devotees flock here every day for prayers.....the church built beautifully and artistically.....
 I begin the visitation of St. Francis Province tomorrow morning and i have two days free. So i decided to visit the port city of Kochi. It is culturally and historically very rich and well known. The city has grown and developed over the period of years. The infrastructures in the city are now world class and the number of tourists has increased here. The people are investing as the city keeps on growing. You can see many high rising buildings coming up. The international and national airports always busy as the international flights have increased. 
 The Altar......
 On either side of the Church there are two towers which are high and attract your attention to the angels on the top....
 This is ordinary day Eucharist and the Church is full......
 The old church is just adjutant and people still visit and pray there.....





It is a blend of two cultures the old and the new. You can see the typical Malayee and the modern Malayee here co-existing peacefully. The city is very calm and quite and not like any other Indian cities. It is also clean and the roads are pretty good except where the Metro work is on.
