The 3 kings church is situated at Cuelim hill.The church is famous for the feast of 3 kings celebrated every year on 6th janaury.
According to some people this church is a haunted church.It is said that long time ago there were 3 portuguese kings living in goa.they often used to fight to gain power in the land but they were tied by the portuguese diplomacy between rulers policy.one of the kings(king holger alvunger) one day invited the other two kings in his place and poisoned them to death.he himself fell out with the public and commited suicide by consuming poison.king holgers place is the current 3 kings church in goa,where there have been reports of sightings and general unrest.
However this is one of the most scenic spots in Goa.It is worth climbing the hill and getting here since one can get a breathtaking view of surrounding lush green regions and the Arabian sea,and if u go there before sundown u will be able to enjoy a mind numbling sunset.the 3 church is one place to enjoy peace and wonderful natural beauty.The place isn't established as a tourist spot but it is still visited by many tourist and nature loving people.It is a paradise for photographers as well.so do visit this magnificant place and preferable in the evening so that you can see the awesome view of sunset from the top of the hill.
some photographs taken during the sunset which clearly shows the mesmerizing beauty of this place:

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this... A small question out of interest.. Is there any old Portuguese house near Kalangute beach, which is haunted??? Some of my friends have been there last week end and they had a very bad experience.. Looked like they surrounded by so many unseen people..
ReplyDeleteI did not want to believe this but, they have captured few pics in which some uneven images had come.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this info.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm from Cansaulim, one of the three villages that celebrates the three kings feast on this hill.
The backstory of this feast goes back to the bible:
When Jesus was born on the 25th of December,the three kings see the star and leave to visit baby Jesus. They take a few days to arrive to the stable and hence reach on the 6th.
Every year the feast re-enacts and celebrates this.
Please do double check on your facts before posting.
You have a lot of followers, they should not get the wrong idea.
The ghost info shared also was kinda spooky intrigue to me as well but not for the first time. I have participated in the 3 Kings festivities of this church especially the gala dance the locals have on the occasion. Only recently on my visit to Goa was told by a group of Bombay holidaymakers that in-spite of waiting until 8:30 in the evening they were unable to espy or feel the lurking of a ghost in the vicinity. That left me rather unnerved bcos as a Goan until then I hadn't heard of a story like that. But its in the air and doing the rounds....
ReplyDeleteExcellent blog, thank you for sharing
