The St.
Francis
Xavier's
Cathedral
also St.
Xavier
Church is
a roman
catholic
latin
rite
shrine
located
at Kottar, Nagercoil in Kanyakumari
district of Tamil
Nadu state, India.
While Saint
Xavier was
doing
missionary
work
at Kottar and
its
neighbourhood,
he
averted
an
invasion
of
Vadugas
with
the
help
of
the
army
of Paravars and Padaiyatchis of
Kottar,
at
Vadasery,
thus
protected
the
people
of Venad kingdom
from
that
attack
which
was
appreciated
by
the
king,
Unni
Kerala
Varma,
who
became
closer
to
the
priest
and
befriended
him
from
then
on.
In
recognition
of
Xavier’s
services,
the
king
allotted
him
a
piece
of
land
to
construct
a
Catholic
church,
as
a
gesture
of
goodwill,
as
per
the
church
records.
There
was
already
a
small
church,
in
the
same
place
where
St.
Xavier’s
church
stands
at
present,
dedicated
to
Mary
the
Mother
of
God,
since
AD
1544
.
Church
records
indicate
that
St.
Xavier
Church
was
built
in
1600.
In
1865,
the
Shrine
of
Mary
was
renovated
and
enlarged.
In
1930,
the
church
was
raised
to
the
status
of
a cathedral.
The
annual
festival
is
celebrated
during
November
–
December,
lasting
for
10
days.car
van
bike
parking
available
this
place.
Thanks
my
friends.
