St. Ann Feast 29th July 2012 (State Festival)

As a part of preservation of Goa's Cultural Heritage, the traditional feast of Santana Church, popularly known as Touxeamchem Fest (cucumber feast), is celebrated as State Festival (by Govt. of Goa)

Modalities in this respect will be worked out in due course so as to celebrate the feast in a grande way in the comming years.

(subject to Terms & Conditions acceptance by the Church / the Bishop Palace )

The feast mass was to start at 10.15

We arrived 11.45

Parrikar Arrived 12.17

Mass got over at 1pm

The Parish priest was singing in the Congress tune not just once or twice, we observed 5 times from the time we arrived. (he says the work of Congress will always remain in their heart)

Keep naming Comgress, Digambar and Silveira all the times, it must be really embarassing moments to BJP who were there.

Congress Francis Silveira ex MLA was there siting right next to the altar (close to MLA Wagh) see pics

Foll. are feast pics

Candolim Sangodd 2012

Orda Candolim, 29th June 2012

So. what's SANGODD?

Two or more Canoe /Boats joined together to form a larger boat 'sangodd' a chapel like structure erected and a stage to perform on it. Various locals and other professional cantorists sing songs onboard the Sangodd.
The sangodd sails from one station to another (traditional halting points).
Onboard, they chant 'Viva Sam Pedr(u)' (Viva St. Peter).
St. Peter being fisherman himself, is regarded as patron Saint of Fishermen's folk.
Today, the 29th June is St. Peter's Feast, so traditionally, the locals celebrated SANGODD on this day.
