Today, Christmas is being celebrated across the country. On this occasion, we are going to tell you about a church in Goa where a body of a saint is kept in a church for 450 years. Inside the church 'Basilica of Bom Jesus' in Panaji, Goa, the body of St. Francis Xavier has been kept safe for 450 years. It is said that Francis Xavier's dead body has divine powers, due to which it has not been worse to date. Thousands of tourists from India and abroad visit this church every year on Christmas occasions
St. Francis Xavier, was a soldier before the saint. They were students of Ignatius Loyola. Let me tell that Ignatius started a religious organization named 'Society of Jesus'.
King John III of Portugal and the Pope of that time, after being a Jesuit missionary, sent Francis Xavier to India for the promotion of religion.
He initiated many people in China, Japan, including India, into Christianity. His death took place during a sea cruise in China.
Three times after burial, the body was in fresh condition
It is said that Javier had asked the disciples to bury their body in Goa before death. After that Francis Xavier's desire was that his ancestor was buried in Goa, but after some years the delegation of saints coming from Rome took his body out of the grave and buried it again in the Francis Xavier Church.It is said that his body was buried three times a year. But every time the body of the saint was in the same state as it was previously buried.
The self-was separated, the needle pierced the blood, then turned out to be blood
This story is prevalent in the body of a saint that before the death, he separated his body from the body through divine powers. He placed this hand for the delegation of saints coming from Rome as his identity. With this, he also gave a letter to the disciples. Even today, this separate hand is present in the church itself.
The story is also prevalent that a woman sticks a needle on the foot of the dead body of St. Francis Xavier, then it bleeds out of it. This blood was also released when their body was dried for hundreds of years.
