St Thomas Mount is a small hillock located in Chennai. A shrine dedicated to "Our Lady of Expectation" (Mother Mary) was built in 1523 on top of the mount. The altar of this shrine was built on the spot where St. Thomas' death has occurred. The Mount of Saint Thomas is easily accessed by the devotees who make the vowed climb through the 134 granite steps as an act of penance and sacrifice. There are 14 Stations of the Cross erected on the way to the summit. It is a Holy place of international, historical and religious distinction and a tourist attraction. #besurprised #Historytoday #Chennai #Madras #History #StThomasMount
