I remember, St. Ana (mother of Mary) household devotion was strong until mid 1980s? We used to visit large houses (particularly of Landlords) to sing litany or Ladainha or simply say ‘ladin’. We (a team of 3-5) used to travel far away on foot (we were in great demand) sometimes up to 3 ladin per night. The litany was strictly for the house hold members (no next door neighbours invited). Often, they 5 and we 5 makes 10 or less. At Velsao, I very well remember, a large house. Behind it there were railway tracks (we could here passing of the train with loud whistle) and there was a main road in front, Again, there was a ‘gironn’ or rice, flour mill. I saw a refrigerator in this house for the first time. It did not work on electricity (there was no electricity around that time) but works on kerosene. As we often go there year after year, I think I even remember the household name. We said ‘Masma-ger ladin’. But I can't really trace the house now. Besides, Masma, there was another of our regulars at Cuelim around ‘Kapddi Posro’ Or near ‘goondda or dada or movali Onorad’ who once stopped us. Now a days we have no such ‘giraik’. No one invites us to sing ladin in the big houses. Perhaps, it’s like saying ‘te poder mele ani te undde kobar zale’ ? St. Ana Ladin goes like this.. Santana Orapro Nobis Santana Ave Christi Santana Mater Maria Virginis Santana Sponsa Jokim Santana sokrus Josef And so on There were so many hymns or Orasao de St. Ana both in Portugues/Latin and Konkani. I don’t really remember now, we never learnt it by heart. St. Ana Ladin is seasonal or just once a year happenings. Meaning, we sang not more than 7 Santana Ladin a year. Some of the Konkani Hymn are.. -Santan tujem Sufollo Jinem - Santan amchi Mai -Santan amchi mai sodanch templant magnim kortali, aplim dukam golloitali.. -Santan amchi mai, Duve Natu soit zai Here are some of the hymns captured LIVE from Santana Feast at Talaulim and Olaulim One can sing along by following the onscreen texts.
