MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE TO SRI LANKA’S HOLIEST CATHOLIC SHRINE Established in 1670, Our Lady of Madhu Shrine is amongst the oldest Roman-Catholic shrines in the country. Smuggled to Mannar from Mantai, and having endured centuries of colonizers and decades of Civil War, the statue of Mary now quietly rests, hidden by the humble beauty of the Church. Every year visitors congregate in Mannar for the Madhu Festival on August 15th to celebrate the Assumption of Mary in one of the island’s most iconic places of worship. So make the pilgrimage and while you’re at it, take a plunge in the clear blue seas that hug the white sandy beaches of Adam’s bridge.
