Kandal Cross Roman Catholic Church, Ooty (Udhagamandalam)

A shrine with the relic of the wood from the original cross on which Jesus was crucified. The shrine is a little difficult to find and nested deep inside. It is a miraculous place and there is water font from which water gushes out and is considered miraculous in healing many who consume or use it with faith.

The Google map took us to the point where we had to walk atleast a km to reach the church through narrow and absolutely dirty way. There is a waste water treatment plant also on they way. Finally we reached the church and was surprised to see cars parked in the premises of the church. We were informed by a visitor that there is a motorable road from another side. Told the driver to take that route when he came to pick us up. When we visited, the church was undergoing renovation. The church wad open from the sides. It is a beautiful church, indeed.
