Print St Lawrence statue found in Sita River handed over to Karkala shrine
KARKALA (Udupi Dist): The wooden statue St Lawrence found at Sita River and placed at Sasthan Church was brought and installed at St Lawrence Shrine in Karkala.
The 40-kg statue was installed on Thursday after a religious ceremony at three century old shrine devoted after same saint, which has been declared as state’s second Minor Basilica.
Interestingly, along with it, the statue of Fr Roque Zeferino Noronha too was found on July 5. A fisherman Vasudeva Kharvi found the statue floating at sea and brought it shore. Five feet high St Lawrence with one hand broken, was found near Hangakatte. The statue painted recently has been kept at Sastan Church.
During the blessing of statue, Fr John Walter Mendonca, parish priest of Sasthan said the finding of the statue is a total mystery. "Me and my parishioners felt it should be treated with care and be placed with respect. We could have kept it with us, but all of us decided that this basilica dedicated to St Lawrence is the best respectable place that could be accorded to it. Hence we are offering this statue as a gesture of our love."
Speaking to TOI, Fr George D’Souza, parish priest of the Shrine said that statue was brought through procession where hundreds of parishioners of Sasthan took part on Wednesday. ``It will be kept at the main altar of Church till August 1, where celebrations will mark declaring shrine as a Minor Basilica and will be shifted later on. Considering it as second miraculous statue to be installed at the shrine,’’ Fr George said that appropriate place will be found. The first miraculous statue installation of St Lawrence at Attur Parish and Shrine has a rich history with its origin tracing back to 1759.
