Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Legend has it that the mortal remains of the Georgian queen Ketevana Didipoli, who was killed by the Persian king for embracing Christianity, were buried in a vault [below the church Nossa Senhora da Graca]. Efforts to locate that vault have not yet borne fruits despite requests from the Government of Georgia (note 1). SITUATION: Below the church of Nossa Senhora da Graca, which stands either in Old Goa (note 2) or in Goa Velha (note 3).Legend has it that the mortal remains of the Georgian queen Ketevana Didipoli, who was killed by the Persian king for embracing Christianity, were buried in a vault [below the church Nossa Senhora da Graca].
