Unscramble the letters collected to get "Velankanni Church".
Velankanni, also known as Vailankanni, is a small town located on the shores of the Bay of Bengal in Tamil Nadu, India.
Once a port that traded with Rome and Greece, the tiny commercial center gradually lost its importance to the larger port city of Nagapattinam.
Velankanni church (Our Lady of Good Health) was built in the late 16th century CE with modifications by Portuguese and further expansions later on due to influx of pilgrimages.
As a token of gratitude to Mother Mary, Portuguese sailors who escaped from a severe cyclone, built the chapel 24 feet to 12 feet with a dome overhead. The main statue that they had brought to the altar of the Shrine was Our Lady holding the Baby Jesus, standing majestically on the globe.
Velankanni church was raised to the status of basilica in 1962 by His Holiness Pope John XXIII.
