Feast of Our Lady of Livra Febres, Consua Verna, Goa, 2012, 2018 2018 Feast: Feast of Our Lady of Livra Febres celebrated on 28.1.2018
'The name ‘Livra Febres’ literally means ‘relief from fevers’. It is believed that the church was built as the sponsor of the church had attained relief from sever fevers he would be suffering from. Ever since then, petitions are placed to the patron of the Church ‘ Our Lady of Livra Febres’ to gain relief from ill health, especially fevers.'

We used to attend this feast 'Febri Fest' on foot by covering a distance of 8-9 KMs through fields and creeks/streams. My mother and many others in the locality never missed the feast. Now there is a motorable road from Cansaulim to the Consua Church via Cuelim, Temba, Borsulem, Osoilem, Kumsar. One can also reach there either from Verna-Airport Bypass ( see pic) or Verna Nagoa Road. There is a Konkan Railways tracks / Tunnel just behind / below the Church (see pics trains passing etc) Feast on 28.1.2018 Sorry I was late and arrived only after the Feast Mass and procession got over at 11.30am I thought the feast mass was at 10 and called Taxi at 10 but it came at 10.30. Feast mass was at 9 and not 10. I only got the Feast brass band or festa muzg and q-ing for verneration (Umao).
