Itinerario
Basílica de Santhome, el Monte Pequeño y el Monte Santo Tomás
Esta imponente catedral católica romana, a tiro de piedra de la playa, fue fundada por los portugueses en 1523, luego fue reconstruida por los británicos en estilo neogótico en 1896 y se dice que marca el lugar de descanso final de Santo Tomás Apóstol. Se cree que 'Doubting Thomas' llevó el cristianismo al subcontinente en el año 52 dC y fue asesinado en St Thomas Mount, Chennai, en el año 72 dC Aunque la mayoría de los restos mortales de Santo Tomás aparentemente ahora se encuentran en Italia, una cruz en la pared de la tumba contiene un pequeño fragmento de hueso marcado como "Reliquia de Santo Tomás". El museo de arriba muestra artefactos relacionados con Thomas, incluido el lancehead que se cree que lo mató. Se dice que St Thomas 'Pole, en el extremo de la playa de la calle en el lado sur de la catedral, salvó milagrosamente la catedral del tsunami de 2004.
Little Mount es una cueva en la que San Tomás se escondió en el año 68 dC y realizó una penitencia. Hay una abertura hacia el este de la cueva a través de la cual St.Thomas escapó cuando sus perseguidores lo alcanzaron aquí. Se cree que la huella de la palma y la huella de la mano cerca de la entrada del túnel son las del propio St.Thomas. También veremos la cruz de mampostería cortada en la cima de la colina, que se cree que es la cruz antes de que Santo Tomás oró. Otro aspecto interesante de esta cueva es el manantial dentro de la colina, que es perenne y se supone que es la creación milagrosa del propio Santo Tomás.
El reputado lugar del martirio de Santo Tomás en el año 72 dC se eleva en el suroeste de Chennai, a 2,5 km al norte de la estación de tren y de metro de Santo Tomás Mount. La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Expectativa, construida en la cima del "monte" por los portugueses en 1523, contiene lo que supuestamente es un fragmento del hueso del dedo de Thomas y la "Cruz Sangrante" que esculpió. Las vistas de la ciudad y el aeropuerto son maravillosas.

It was a great experience. My guide, Rajesh was very polite and is knowledgable of the locations. I managed to even attend the mass at the Tomb of St Thomas (although that take a bit more time). I also was able to be inside the cave at the Mount of St Thomas where St Thomas prayed. Then we ended it at the St Thomas Basilica where the blood of St Thomas was spilled. I was able to touch it and say my prayers. It was well worth it.

Positive: Close to points to see, driver very available, very friendly guide and knew how to adapt his English (rhythm...) to our level of language. Medium: lunch (too spicy), we regretted not being able to get close to the source that we could see from a distance through a gap in the rock Negative: too expensive for what there was to see
