I need a little clarification from you on the following:
When I attended Shirigao Zatra in 1959, Anjuna �Dhonds� (a Dhond is a Hindu who participates in the ceremony of running through fire at Shirigao Zatra) with whom we attended the Zatra, told us that Mapusa church and Shirigao Temple authorities exchanged gifts at the Milagres feast and Shirigao Zatra respectively. We were told that Mapusa church sent seven pots of coconut oil (one pot each for each sister?) to Shirigao Temple and they in turn reciprocated with candles of equal worth. Is this true, and does it stiill take place? Please clarify. If true, it is yet another example that goes to prove the bondage between Hindus and Christians in Goa!
