Talking Photos: Which one is Bambolim? Believe me or not, I did not know that there exist another village called Bambolim. For me (and may be some of you) Bambolim mainly means ‘Fulamcho Khuris’ or Holy Cross Shrine or New GMC complex or Military Camp Bambolim Church? It must be the one on the NH17 just before /after Goa Medical College/Hospital on NH17.
It was only when we followed the road down to the village behind GMC (on GMC –Dona Paula Road), we found a small village having it’s own small church (established in 1616, looks like a chapel alleviated to Church) with catholics around 550. The Church - (old?) Bambolim Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem (1616) Or Nossa Senhora de Belem http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukchurches2/4575897408/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukchurches2/4575261925/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukchurches2/4575898510/sizes/l/ The one we see on the NH17, Miraculous Cross shrine (also a church) was built and blessed just about 14 years ago (1996) (Fulamchi Khuris) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk8/496858740/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk8/496881352/sizes/l/ Our Goa is so small yet I would never be able to explore it fully during my life time. What % I have covered so far ? I would say 30% (in 62 years) Listening, watching. reading, imagining or dreaming is another thing [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
