St. Francis Xavier

He died on December 3, 1552. However, his body is not decayed yet. The Basilica of Bom Jesus is located in Old Goa (India) and is a Unesco World Heritage site,the bascilib holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier.

I recently visited this church and was awe struck by the wonderful and beautiful creation of GOD and his creation - Specially human’s with such skills and talents given by GOD.

Hi @Jyothi2211 ,

Wow that is beautiful! Do you live in Goa or did you visit this place also for the first time? I’ve heard so many wonderful things about Goa that I would love to visit, and India in general. Is the church free of charge?

Are there opening hours? How can one get to the church easily? Thanks for sharing.

Hello @DanniS ,

I visited Goa for the first time and it was real wonderful visiting Old Goa. Old Goa has many churches all worth visiting and spending time. One full day is good time to spend visiting all the churches and historic places. visiting churches is free, their are couple of museum which have nominal entry fee.

Do visit Goa, you’ll have great memories for life time
