St. Francis Church - Kochi

 Inside St. Francis Church.... It's a landmark where the body of late legendary explorer Vasco da Gama was buried. According to the legend, Vasco da Gama who was the first European to discover a route in India last breathed at this place in the year 1524. It was his third visit to this church and his body was buried here itself. It is said that his remains were shipped to Lisbon after 14 years, but the gravestone is still seen in this church.

No nativity scene - rather this snowman made from paper cups
