😍Annai Velankanni’s 3rd Apparition to Portuguese Merchants, Who Caught in a Giant Strom❤️‍🔥

The third apparition occurred in the 17th century, when a Portuguese merchant vessel was caught in a giant storm in the Bay of Bengal as it was sailing from Macao in China to Colombo in Ceylon. The helpless sailors, then at the point of desolation, prayed fervently and invoked the help of the Blessed Virgin under her title Stella Maris (Star of the Sea) to save them. They vowed to build a church in her name, wherever they could land. The stormy sea became calm. Their ship landed near the shore of Vailankanni on September 8, the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lady. Fulfilling their vow, the Portuguese sailors transformed the thatched chapel erected by the Catholic gentleman of Nagapattinam into a beautiful stone-built chapel. On their next visit, they decorated the altar with porcelain plates, illustrating biblical themes. These plates, giving testimony to their thanksgiving to Our Lady, are seen even today around the throne of the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Good Health over the main altar of the Shrine Basilica. Since then, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health has been celebrated every year, preceded by the hoisting of the flag on August 29th. Although all three apparitions ultimately resulted in the erection of a shrine to our Lady, it was the promise of the Portuguese sailors that was the proximate cause of a permanent edifice being built at Vailankanni.
