Moving on with St. Thomas

The next pictures are from the place where St. Thomas was martyred. It is on the top of a hill overlooking Chennai. Again, a feeling of being at a very holy place came over me.

Inside the church at the hiding place

Michael took pictures of Christopher and I inside the church. I love how beautiful and ornate it is.

Jesus teaching

Sign fun

Michael saw Christopher standing by this sign, and thought it would make a good picture....My Lord and My Christopher. I liked how the sign was in Tamil and English.

Beautiful!

Hiding Place landscape

In the area surrounding the hiding place and the church, there were many "exhibits", for lack of a better word. They were similar to the Stations of the Cross, but not exactly. Many were scenes of the Passion, though. This is right in Chennai, which can be seen in the background.
