What a day to be in Chennai! Its a festive day here. The Church of St. Thomas and places connected to his life are all crowded with people from all walks of life. Young and old, from religious sector. He is the one who has brought Christian faith to this part of the World. Visiting the places of his sojourn here helped me a lot to know him better. Now I am convinced that he did land here and evangelized this part of South India.
