12,000 gather as Goa starts exposition of St. Francis Xavier relics
The Sri Lanka terror attacks have spurred India’s Goa State to provide security for its ancient Christian buildings, but church leaders say much more is needed.
A day after a series of explosions killed more than 300 people in churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, Goa’s chief minister said he had asked police to provide security to churches across the former Portuguese colony on India’s western coast.
However, churchgoers and officials say only token security arrangements can be seen, particularly around historical buildings in Old Goa. They include the Basilica of Bom Jesus that houses the mortal remains of 16th century Portuguese-Jesuit missionary St Francis Xavier.
