The much-awaited moment if finally here -- the Exposition of the Sacred Relics of St Francis Xavier.

Watch the Mass and the procession live, and witness this great spiritual event taking place in Goa today.

St Francis Xavier, lovingly called Goycho Saib, is one of Goa's most beloved saints. His sacred relics are housed in Old Goa, and during the exposition, which commenced today (and will continue until January 5, 2025) you will get the opportunity to see the relics up close.

During the exposition, the saint's relics will be taken in a special carriage from the Basilica of Bom Jesus to the Se Cathedral in a solemn ceremony.

St Francis Xavier, originally from Spain, carried out missionary work in India and various parts of Asia

When the saint breathed his last on Shangchuan Island in China and his body brought to Goa, India, it was said to be incorruptible. Since then, people's faith in the saint has deepened, and devotion to him has increased.

So, don't miss the chance to watch this event live and embark on a deeply spiritual journey. Experience the profound faith, devotion, and rich traditions surrounding the Exposition of the Sacred Relics of St Francis Xavier.
