概要
クイックファクト: 使徒の墓の真上に建てられた、世界でわずか三つの教会の一つ。そびえ立つネオゴシック様式の尖塔には、西暦52年にインドの地に到着した聖トマスの遺物が納められている。
見どころ: 祭壇近くの小さな穴は、聖トマスが殉教した後、その血が石に染み込んだ場所とされている。下の地下室には、彼の1世紀のオリジナルの埋葬板があり、信者たちが約2000年にわたって触れてきた十字架が刻まれている。
インサイダーヒント
- Dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered, as this is an active place of worship.
- The museum upstairs holds fascinating ancient artifacts including a 2nd-century coin and Portuguese-era vestments.
- Visit the crypt first thing in the morning around 7:00 AM to have the space nearly to yourself.
- Photography is allowed inside but skip the flash during mass services to respect worshippers.
