👉Let's read...

Mita and her classmates, a team of twenty five, went to Bandel last Saturday with their history teacher. They visited the Bandel Church. It was their first outing. So, everybody was excited.

Their bus started from Chandannagar. On their way, the teacher asked them whether anyone had visited the Bandel Church before. Most of them had not, so they remained silent. Mita was an exception, though. She said with enthusiasm, "Yes, Madam. I have visited the place before".

"Oh, really! That's great! Tell us what this place is like, Mita", said the teacher. Everybody was looking at Mita with keen interest.

Mita began, "My uncle, who lives there, took me to the church."

"What did you see there?" asked Amina, one of Mita's friends. Mita was about to speak when the teacher stopped her. She said, "If Mita tells us right

now about everything she had seen, we will get familiar with all its details. Let the church remain a surprise to us."

Sunita, one of the students, asked the teacher, "There are so many places we could have visited. Why have we chosen Bandel Church then, Madam?"

The teacher smiled. "A very good question, Sunita,". She continued, "Sometimes we visit a place for fun and enjoyment. At times, our visit helps us to gather valuable information about the history and culture of a place."

Sunita was curious, "Is Bandel Church a historical place, Madam?" "Yes, my child. It is one of the oldest churches in West Bengal," said the teacher.

Mita said, "Madam, my uncle told me that it can be seen as a memorial of the Portuguese settlement in Bengal". Amina looked confused, "I don't think quite understand what Mita said."

The teacher patiently explained to the girls, "Ok, let me make it clear. Around 1571, the Portuguese began to use Bandel as a port. The Mughal Emperor Akbar gave them permission to build a town in Hooghly. In 1579, the Portuguese built a port on the banks of the Hooghly. They called over Augustinian monks from Goa to build a church at Bandel in 1599,"

Eventually they reached their destination. The bus stopped in front of the church. Everybody was elated and started talking all at once. Amina asked, "Is this the same building that was built in 1599, Madam?"

"Not at all, Amina. This church was destroyed during the Mughal siege of Hooghly, "the teacher said as they walked inside through the gate. "What happened then?" asked Sunita. The priest, Father Joan da Cruz, along with a few thousand Christians, was taken to Agra fort before the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. His order was to punish the prisoners. So they were made to stand before ferocious elephants. But, surprisingly, one elephant carried Father Joan da Cruz right up to the emperor and knelt before him, as if asking for mercy. This peculiar incident impressed Shah Jahan. He set the prisoners free and sent them back to Bandel. Shah Jahan granted money to reconstruct the Church, and also donated 777 bighas of land to the church in the year 1633. Since then, it has been modified and reconstructed at different times," the teacher explained to the eager students.

At last, all of them entered the church. They saw the Prayer Hall, the mast, the cemetery and also the statue of Mother Mary. They saw many wall paintings of Christ and the huge clock with four faces. At the end of the day the students felt happy and enriched. This trip had been most rewarding to all of them.
