VASCO DA GAMA TOMB IN ST. FRANCIS CHURCH










St. Francis Church is the first European Church to be built in India within the oldest European settlement of Fort Cochin. Presumably it owes its origin to the Franciscans Friars who accompanied the Portuguese expedition in 1500 AD while travelling tourist places.
Vasco Da Gama was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. It was a milestone in world history, as it marked the beginning of a sea-based phase of global connect. 
Here in St. Francis Church, Vasco Da Gama was laid to rest in the year 1524 AD until his remains were removed and taken to Portugal in the year 1538 AD.
The grave stones that were removed from the church floor have been refixed over the side wall of the church, which is a tourist place also for travellers.

We enjoy refreshing cool breeze and gradually our steps get lengthier as we reach the gate of the park.  Entering the park, we are greeted with freshness of green trees and plants which make our mind calm and compose. Going ahead, we breathe sweet fragrance of flowers and freshness of dew drops fallen on the tree leaves and grass. As we proceed on the concrete pavement, we are tempted to go for a walk on grassy plots bare footed. We hear chirping birds creating lively sensation in hearts.  On the way, we meet people whom we know and greet them. Sometimes, we make new friends as well.  We continue our walk briskly breathing light sweet smell of refreshing flowers and feeling breeze of water droplets from sprinklers in the pond. We find golden ball of the Sun rising...
