PROCESSION AND POTLUCK Our Lady of Velankanni, also known as the “Lourdes of the East,” is one of the most-frequented religious sites in India. There are three major events associated with Our Lady of Good of Health in Velankanni. The Virgin Mary is said by tradition to have appeared to a shepherd boy who offered her child milk. She is subsequently said to have appeared to and healed a crippled boy selling buttermilk. A group of Portuguese sailors attribute being saved from a violent storm to her intercession. They constructed a larger chapel at their landing spot in Velankanni.
