Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of Goa on India's southwest coast was once the capital of the Portuguese-Catholic empire in Asia. When Vasco Da Gama arrived in India in 1498, he mistook Hindus for Christians, but Jesuit missionaries soon declared war on the alleged idolatry of the Hindus. Today, Hindus and Catholics assert their own religious identities, but Hindu village gods and Catholic patron saints attract worship from members of both religious communities. Through fresh readings of early Portuguese sources and long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this study traces the history of Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa and reveals the complex role of religion at the intersection of colonialism and modernity.

Download or read book Churches and Convents of Goa written by Annabel Lopez and published by India Book House. This book was released on 2002 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built during the 16th and 17th centuries AD, the churches and convents of Goa -- the former capital of the Portuguese in India -- illustrate the evangelization of India. The book traces the spread of Christianity in Goa, the historic development of the churches and convents, particularly the Se Cathedral Complex, and the influence of European building styles on the indigenous architecture. Se Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Old Goa, is built in the Portuguese-Gothic style. With a Tuscan interior and a Corinthian exterior, its main altar is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria; paintings on either side depict scenes from her life. An interesting example of religious architecture is the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, adorned with gilded and carved woodwork, murals portraying scenes from the life of St. Francis, and a floor made substantially of carved gravestones. Briefly touching upon the building traditions and technology, the book also talks about other monuments and churches in Goa.

Download or read book Parish Churches in the Early Modern World written by Andrew Spicer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Europe, the parish church has stood for centuries at the centre of local communities; it was the focal point of its religious life, the rituals performed there marked the stages of life from the cradle to the grave. Nonetheless the church itself artistically and architecturally stood apart from the parish community. It was often the largest and only stone-built building in a village; it was legally distinct being subject to canon law, as well as consecrated for the celebration of religious rites. The buildings associated with the "cure of souls" were sacred sites or holy places, where humanity interacted with the divine. In spite of the importance of the parish church, these buildings have generally not received the same attention from historians as non-parochial places of worship. This collection of essays redresses this balance and reflects on the parish church across a number of confessions - Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed and Anti-Trinitarian - during the early modern period. Rather than providing a series of case studies of individual buildings, each essay looks at the evolution of parish churches in response to religious reform as well as confessional change and upheaval. They examine aspects of their design and construction; furnishings and material culture; liturgy and the use of the parish church. While these essays range widely across Europe, the volume also considers how religious provision and the parish church were translated into a global context with colonial and commercial expansion in the Americas and Asia. This interdisciplinary volume seeks to identify what was distinctive about the parish church for the congregations that gathered in them for worship and for communities across the early modern world.
