I was able to visit the place where St. Thomas martyred in India. The entire place felt so Holy.

I completely understand.
We went to Emphasis to view the ruins.

Saw the amphitheater Paul(or Peter) preached, walked the streets that Mary and James walked.......it gave me the shivers.
My granddaughter just kept saying Mary was here......
We saw a little chapel that had been dedicated to her, folk lore had it that was the place she liked to go and pray.

There were these great columns along the walkway to the amphitheater and one was about three feet higher than the others and it was called the column of James.

I just love that these areas are still there, and we can walk on the same streets these mighty people of God walked.
