Palavakkam is my favourite beach location in
Chennai where I frequent until few years back and it’s a less crowded beach in
Chennai and the Seashore Anthony’s Shrine is on the road that links the end of the beach and East Coast Road (ECR). What you see in the photos is the Eucharistic
tower, erected outside the Shrine in remembrance of the Eucharistic year
(2004-2005) and it is a 100 feet high tower resembling the monstrance. The
artistic masterpiece was built along the entrance arch facing the ECR and a
bell fry.
I have passed many times the church but I
couldn’t take a photo of the shrine on the right side of the tower as it
usually have some traffic or people gathered out, hesitated me to take a shot.
The tower is on the entrance so I take shot easily from moving car when nearing
the Shrine. The church was built in 2000 with funds indigenously raised by
devotees without any foreign funds. In addition this church has a Grotto
beneath the church which is populated with some rare images of Mother Mary in
all her forms. For your reference I share the shrine’s structure below searched
through Google.
