The city’s connection with saints of different religions, faiths and beliefs is strong. But there is one who travelled beyond the Roman empire, and reached the ancient ‘Tamilakam’, preached, baptised several people and found the sect of ‘Thomas Christians’ or Nazranis — Thomas, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. To understand Chennai’s strong Christian connection and trace the life of ‘Thoma’, Savera’s official travel wing, Wanderlust travel lounge, organised a half-day tour to three sites associated with the apostle who landed in India in 52CE — The St Thomas Mount, Little Mount and Santhome Basilica.
Thank you so much for the nice and interesting comment.
