VELANKANNI FESTIVAL 2025 | CAR PROCESSION | LIVE - 07-09-2025

VELANKANNI FESTIVAL 2025 | CAR PROCESSION | LIVE - 07-09-2025 September 8, is commemorated as the feast of Our Lady of Good Health. The celebration starts 29 August and ends on the day of the feast. The feast day prayers are said in Tamil, Malayalam,Telugu, Kannada, Konkani, Hindi and English. The Lady came floating in her car, shouldered by her footsoldiers of faith. And as she floated along the teeming thousands, her faithful knelt, some with open palms, some with absolute supplication – each with their own reason for reverence and surrender. Tuesday evening marked the penultimate day celebrations of the Velankanni Feast – the Velankanni car festival spruced with as much grandeur as the flag hoist ceremony, a week before. As if a metaphor, against the darkness of the late evening sky, the only light was from the shrine and the cars that carried the Gods. #VelankanniChurch
