Beautiful church. A wonderful masterpiece of a structure.

How can we not love this place. Very calm and holy place. The interior is free from modernization, and that's the beauty of the church. Very ancient statues. The very big statue of Mary inside the church is open for public on 8th of December, during the festival. The statues in the crib this Christmas was very unique and lively . Though some new constructions happened around the church, the church and inside are kept as it was.
