Chettikkad St. Antony's Church, Ernakulam, Kerala is highly
notable as a pilgrim centre not just to Indians but also for people from all
over the world. Thousands of people constellate in the centre that belong to
different faiths and nations in order to seek the blessings of the Holy Saint.
The church has the grace of holding and preserving three sacred relics which
includes a part of the tongue of Saint Anthony. ‘The Miracle Man’ as he
is known in India is revered and worshipped for his power to heal various
chronic ailments and diseases. Infertile women have been blessed with
babies and many children have been cured of their long troubling diseases.
People also visit the Holy Well near the church which is
believed to have healing power in its water. It is surprising to learn that
this is the only fresh water well among all the salt water wells that one can
find in that area. They say the water level never goes down no matter how much
ever water is taken from the well. So for a traveller or a devotee who is
interested in knowing about the miracles and spiritual wonders this has to be
on the checklist. Since a lot of miracles have happened among the
children, a children park has also been set up near the St. Anthony’s Church.
