Today, the feast of Saint Anne is celebrated at the hallowed National Shrine in Talavila under the patronage of the Chief Shepherd of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Devsritha Valence Mendis. The energetic administrator of the shrine, Very Rev. Fr. Luke Nelson Perera has made arrangements to conduct the feast befittingly with special attention to the spiritual needs of the pilgrims that throng to Talavila from all over the country. I am sure the meaningful projects that have been launched towards the development of the shrine and its environs will surely gladden the pilgrims.

In the golden sands of Talavila, the trammels of civilization and the artificial conventions of society are cast aside for plain living and simple thinking; religion begins to occupy its right place, which is the first place. The sense of Christian charity and Catholic solidarity begins to grow in the pilgrim’s heart at the historical shrine where our forefathers have knelt, prayed and offered their supplications and thanksgiving.

No human power drew them there; neither worldly gain nor love of pleasure or profit or fame brought them there for centuries. An old church and in it a rough image of a Saint, who had lived and died even before the birth of Christianity; these have been the attractions. They have come animated by a sense of an unseen, yet real, power; they have come to worship God and honour His saint, to invoke Divine assistance and offer thanks for favours received
