Our Lady of Hope, Vypeen is another famous church in Kochi, though not as old as the 'Our lady of Ransom, Church at Vallarpadam, it is also a few hundred years old. http://ptjosephrosa.blogspot.com Joseph Rosa on his blog has related the church beautifully, You can read more about our lady of hope from there and see some touching pictures of Kochi from another proud Kochinier.
Some one with equal measure of highs and lows in life - family, education, work and friends. An attempt to share the efforts to find peace through Jesus to live this life. My victories and failures on that road of life..
Just like many other Kochiniers I was also offered a slave to Mary @ Vallarpadam as a child by my parents in the tradition of Meenakshi Amma's faith.
In and around the church whenever possible, contemplating on Meenkashi Amma's faith most of the time.
This does not mean, I do not accept other faiths, infact I do, I have complete respect for other faiths as I believe they are also for helping the man kind to live this life here on the earth well.
Hi Mary:)
ReplyDeleteGreetings:)
I am absolutely thrilled to visit your blog. Amazing!
Your photos are lovely and fascinating. When I took some photos of the Church it was evening and therefore my photos are not as good as yours.
Many many thanks for your comments in my post. Please keep in touch.
Wish you all the best:)
Joseph
