In that location now, is the famous pilgrimage site, The Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health Church and Complex at Vailankanni, India. The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary on September 8th is the culmination of nine days of prayers, novenas, Masses, and parades at this annual celebration.

One will note the throngs of devotees surrounding the building, with only a small number of the faithful and the clergy allowed inside the gated wall of the Basilica. The procession of the palanquin carrying the image of Our Lady of Vailankanni and the Christ Child, along with the festival flag, paraded through the streets around the Basilica before entering the courtyard for the flag raising. The commemorative flag of the golden image of Our Lady of Vailankanni, flanked by adoring angels, on a sea-blue background wafted above the festival-goers as the skies darkened and the Basilica lights were illuminated. Firecrackers lit the skies to launch the 9-day event leading up to the Feast Day celebration on the Nativity of the Blessed Mother on September 8th.
