History

The town of Hooghly-Chuchura was founded by the Portuguese The Portuguese Empire was among the first global empires in history, with territories in South America, Africa, India and South East Asia subject to the sovereignty of Portugal. It was also one of the longest lived of the modern European colonial empires, spanning almost five centuries, from the discovery of Brazil in 1500 to the handover of Macau in 1579. Some religious structures were built and the city flourished as a trading port. One such structure is a Church dedicated to a Charismatic statue of the Mother Mary. The statue was brought by the Portuguese and established on the bank of the river Hoogly. In the 17th century, political disorder struck the city and the Mughal Following 1725 the empire declined rapidly, weakened by wars of succession, agrarian crises fueling local revolts, the growth of religious intolerance, and British colonialism. The last Emperor, Bahadur Zafar Shah II, whose rule was restricted to the city of Delhi, was imprisoned and exiled by the British after the Indian Rebellion of 1857 governor of Bengal Bengal , is a historical and geographical region in the northeast of South Asia. Today it is mainly divided between the sovereign state of the People's Republic of Bangladesh (previously East Bengal / East Pakistan) and West Bengal in India, although some regions of the previous kingdoms of Bengal (during local monarchical regimes and British rule) expelled the Portuguese. While being expelled the Portuguese also carried the statue back with them which while in transit submerged into the river when the local archers were shooting the Portuguese. The statue was later found by the local people on the bank. It took a sentimental chane among the local who again established the statue. The arrested Portuguese were taken to Delhi where a death sentence was granted to those arrested Portuguese. To engineer the death sentence mad elephants were left before those arrested priests in an arena meant for such sentences. The mad elephants came to the arena to do their regular job, inspected the victims and silently went back doing no harm to those priests. This news was informed to the emperor Shahjahan who became very happy and ordered not only release of those priests, but also granted a piece of land on the bank of the river Hoogly where the statue of the Mother Mary was reestablished. There a church was constructed which became very popular among the voyagers, especially, the Portuguese. The statue became an icon of patron saint for the safety in sea voyages from Portugal to India. In one such voyage the ship while sailing was caught in a cyclone and was about to sink in mid sea. The captain offered prayers to Mother Mary keeping this statue in mind. The ship survived from the storm. When the ship was anchored on the bank of Hoogly, the captain offered the mast of his ship to this church as the mast is the icon of the highest honour of a ship. The same mast is still erected outside the church. The church was renovated in 1980s and nowadays is visited by several people including non Christians. The church has been declared as a Basilica by the authority of Rome. Thus Hoogli has become a place of pilgrimage. The statue is still venerated in the church; people queue to visit it.
