Lady of Ransom, Kanyakumari

This Sunday is the feast of Lady of Ransom also called Alankara Matha at Kanyakumari. This video is from Saturday night service.

You may notice the similarity of name with our Basilica at Vallarpadam. Perhaps built by the same Mercedarian priests of Vallarpadam from the 16th Century. The old church at Kanyakumari goes back to that century.
