Feast of Mary @ Vallarpadam 2009




The altar at the Lady of Ransom church at Vallarpadam is always beautifully laid out. A solace to be at, a peaceful sight. During the feast days it was even more so.

Soon after the mass the volunteers took out Mary's likeness to the portico in the front for better access for the crowd seeking blessing.

The 7 o clock mass was already half way through when I reached, luckily it wasn't raining much, may be rain and working day, the church was not that full.

The huge "pandhal" over the rosary park which was literally beaming with crowd in the last ten days ever since the festival was flagged up, on September 24th 2009.
