Kejriwal seeks blessings at St. Anthony Chapel, Chinchinim

12/11/2025

What began decades ago as a simple roadside stone cross along the Bambolim plateau has today become one of Goa’s most revered places of devotion — the Miraculous Cross, fondly known as Fulancho Khuris (Cross of Flowers).

Legend has it that in the 1940s, a woman from nearby Siridao was miraculously cured of cancer after praying at the cross. Her healing sparked waves of faith, and over the years, devotees began offering flowers and prayers, believing in its divine powers.

In 1995, Archbishop Raul Gonsalves laid the foundation stone for a shrine to enshrine the cross, and the Holy Cross Shrine was inaugurated in 1996. Since then, thousands of faithful — Christians and non-Christians alike — have visited the site to seek blessings, healing, and protection.

The annual feast of the Miraculous Cross is celebrated on the third Sunday of May, drawing large crowds who come to offer thanksgiving and flowers. Travellers passing by the busy highway often bow or sound their horn as a mark of reverence.

Dogs belong on couches... NOT on chains. The warmth, the comfort, and the loyalty – all deserve a spot on the couch. Every pup deserves love and freedom, not to be stuck outside. Time to bring your pup inside where they belong! 🛋️🐕
