FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION
Vancio Vaddo, Guirim, Bardez, Goa.
Built in 1768.
'Happy Feast' to all.
'As he neared the chapel in the misty early morning dawn, a girl dressed in her best approached running to the young lad, and picking a tiny paper flower from her small and neatly decorated basket, she pinned it on his shirt. Reaching in his pocket he deposited a coin in her basket for which she thanked him.'
