Walking to Velankanni to the #miraculous #Basilica of #Our-Lady of Good Health. There are various #Catholic faithful from all over #Tamil Nadu, India that walk upwards of about 300 Km. The ages are from the carried infants to the 90 years young. There are those who leave to be there for start of the nine day novena that ends on the Mother of God's birthday September 8th or those that pray the novena while walking and arrive the day before her birthday. This is a very #spiritual time of #praying including many #rosaries, singing, going to mass and fast of no meat. The miracles range from physical, #emotional and or spiritual for each who make this #pilgrimage. Many of the #faithful make this a regular pilgrimage showing their #love and #devotion to their MAMA .
