Shigmotsav
People
of Goa also celebrate Holi in a different style. They enjoy this
festival of colours with traditional dances and performing arts. It is,
locally, popular as Shigmotsav or Shigmo.
Another major
Christian festival is St. Francis Day,
which is celebrated on December 3 at the famous Church of Bom Jesus. It is a
series of ceremony to honour the death of St. Francis Xavier (a great
missionary). His body lies in a silver casket in the Church of Bom Jesus. A
grand feast which welcomes people from all the communities and religions, is
organised.
