Se Cathedral Chruch
Packages for Goa take you on a tour to Se Cathedral, which is dedicated to St. Catherine. The Cross of Miracles, placed in this cathedral in Goa, attracts lot of people. It seems the people of Goa had a vision of Christ on this cross and the rock on which it was found was said to spout water. Today, the cross in Goa is slowly growing.
