Siridao Feast

With the celebration of Easter the new annual liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church begins. For forty days, Catholics prepare for the resurrection of Jesus Christ with fasting, Prayer and self-sacrifice.

After Easter the Church is all set to celebrate different feasts of various saints and patrons of the churches. We can say that the festive season for Catholics in Goa starts with the celebrations of the feast at the Jesus Nazareth Chapel.

A well known tradition observed by the people attending the feast is the eating of kanji (pez) which is distributed to each and everyone free of costs.
