Goans celebrate harvest festival of Konsachem
By Devraj, Raia (Panaji), Aug.6 : Goans celebrated their harvest
festival of 'Konsachem' on Sunday.
A Christian priest symbolically cut a bunch of corn to signal the start
of the festival.
Farmers from several villages congregated at Raia Village on the
outskirts of Madgao to attend a service and the ensuing festivities.
The event was held at the unusually named Our Lady of The Snows Church
at Raia in Salcete sub-division.
The feast is known locally as Konsachem Fest after the sheaves (konsa)
of rice harvest which are cut at the time of the celebration.
