Febri fest Villagers including us never missed this feast, we used to walk through the fields and under the hot sun covering distance of 7- 8kms to attend the feast at Consua via Cuelim, Xendo, Temba, Borsulem, Osoilem, Kumsar etc. We did not have vehicles not even cycle at that time till early 80s. We simply said 'Febri fest'.

"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.'
