Inside St. Thomas Basilica

So, basically the Catholic church had strong influence in this area where the remains of Thomas were buried, and they built a big cathedral church over it, and granted it 'minor Basilica' status. When you first walk in, you see a lot of pews and the front has a statue of Jesus on a cross in the middle. As you walk to the front, you see a little window in the floor. I looked down in the window and saw the top of this guy's head. I zoomed in, and saw that it was a priest conducting mass, or a service. Down there is the actual area of Thomas' remains, and the entry to get down there was in a little building behind the basilica, so that's where we went next. More pics to come!
