Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health, also known as Sanctuary of Our Lady of Velankanni, is a Christian shrine located at the town of Velankanni, The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Tradition has it that the first Marian apparition appeared to a shepherd boy carrying a jug of milk for delivery. He was stopped by a beautiful woman holding a child in her arms who requested some milk for the young one. The shepherd boy readily gave her some and went on his way, only to discover that the jug was once again filled with fresh milk. Realising the identity of the woman and child, a small shrine was erected and named Matha Kulam, which translates to Our Lady’s Pool.  The second Marian apparition appeared to a young crippled boy selling buttermilk not far from Matha Kulam. He was stopped by a beautiful woman with a young boy in her arms who asked for some buttermilk. The boy’s mother asked the crippled lad to visit a gentleman in the next town and ask him to build a chapel in her honour at that very location. Without hesitation the boy rose and set out on his errand. It was then that he realised that he was no longer lame. Screaming with joy he beckoned the gentleman and conveyed the instructions. They rushed back to where the incident had occurred and put up a small thatched chapel and named it Arokia Matha or Our Lady of Health. Take your time to explore the stunning architecture and serene surroundings.
