400 Year Old Church Basilica of Bom Jesus, Goa | St.Francis Xavier Body
The Basilica Bom Jesus or Old Goa Church is 400 Years old and perhaps Goa's most famous church. The Holy Relics of Saint Francis Xavier's Body is kept here. Among the most revered by Christians worldwide, is partially in ruins but still a model of simplicity and elegance, and a fine example of Baroque architecture.
Basilica of Bom Jesus is the only church in Old Goa, which is not plastered on the outside, the lime plaster having been stripped off by a zealous Portuguese conservationist in 1950.
Located at Old Goa, 10 kilometres east of Panaji, the Basilica Bom Jesus is a World Heritage Monument.

Built by Father Philip Ruh who was the most influential architect of Ukrainian Catholic churches in Western Canada.He combined the Byzantine church architecture of Ukraine with the architecture of the great western European cathedrals to build some 40 churches, mostly in Western Canada.
Construction of this church began at the worst time, in 1930, just as the Great Depression was starting. It took 22 years to complete and was built with all volunteer labor and parishioners' donations.
That included 20 boxcars filled with cement and thousands of tonnes of gravel and sand, all of it mixed by hand. Youths were trained to handle saws and levels; men dug the foundation ditches; women hauled rocks; children carried smaller stones, wrote David Butterfield and Maureen Devanik Butterfield in their book, If Walls Could Talk: Manitoba's Best Buildings Explored.
The church construction took on no debt and was built entirely with hand tools. Ruh forbade any power tools, even a cement mixer. It was nearer God that way. A pulley was the only modern machinery used, he told the Winnipeg Free Press at the consecration Sunday July 27, 1952. That opening service lasted five hours.
The grotto next door that Ruh patterned after the famous grotto in Lourdes. Grotto construction began in 1954. It was made with 23,110 bags of cement, 44 tonnes of steel, 6,592 yards of gravel. It wasn't completed until 1970 by the Knights of Columbus, eight years after Ruh died of cancer.
Walking about you notice something odd. You realize the church's exterior brickwork isn't brickwork at all. It's a concrete composite, dabbed with white spots and stenciled over with black lines to make it look like brickwork.This imitation is found inside the church, too. The marble isn't marble but a kind of feathered paintwork to make the wooden arches look like marble. The grotto is concrete that has been shaped to look like the natural stones in Lourdes.
There is at least one central dome on a Ukrainian church, representing Jesus Christ. There can be any number of smaller satellite domes around it. If it is accompanied by two domes, that forms the Holy Trinity; four extra satellite domes represent evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; seven domes in total represent the sacraments: baptism, confirmation, holy eucharist, penance, holy orders, marriage, and extreme unction (last rites).The artwork of the church was always to show some evidence of the kingdom of heaven, one priest explained.
Most church's floor plans are cruciform--shaped like a cross laid flat on the ground. The buildings have three chambers with the central chamber the largest and representing the cross piece. Inside the churches, the cross shape is outlined by red carpet that runs up the center aisle.Ruh was a self-taught architect a self-taught Ukrainian. He was born in 1883 in Alsace-Lorraine, then German territory and now in France. He always regarded himself as more German than French, and later in Canada changed his name from Roux to Ruh.
After he was ordained in 1910, the Roman Catholic Church assigned him to Ukraine. He adapted quickly to the Ukrainian language and culture, and remained in the Ukrainian church all his life. He came to Canada in 1913 and began missionary work in northern Alberta. There he began designing and building many small Ukrainian churches. He was also a builder and labourer on the churches, and there are many photos of him pushing a wheelbarrow.
Today, Ruh's grave site is memorialized with a special place of honor, surrounded by spruce trees, in the cemetery next to the Cook's Creek church. His right-hand men in church construction, master builders Mike Sawchuk and Michael Yanchynski, are buried beside him.

Visit The No. 1 Sight in Goa, India: Basilica of Bom Jesus
The Portuguese burned Goa to the ground during a massive cholera epidemic and only two churches still remain. Church #2 will be uploaded tomorrow.
Of the two, Bom Jesus is fascinating because of St. Francis Xavier's naturally mummified remains!
