The Mast

Location

One stormy morning of 1655 a Portuguese ship landed suddenly in the Ghat of Bandel church. It had survived a gail for few days in the Bay of the Bengal. The Captain of the ship prayed to " The Our Lady Of Bandel" and promised to donate his Mast to the first Church he will find in his way. He could see the Church at Bandel and donated one of his Mast to the church. It is still there bearing the testimony.
