Learning of the day:
St Thomas tomb (under the Santhome Church), in Chennai, does not any more contain the remains of St Thomas. He was once upon a time buried there. Later, perhaps in the 16 or 17 century, his body was taken away by the Portugese. Popular belief: it is in Italy in Adessa.
Interestingly, this fact that the 'tomb' no more contains the mortal remains of St Thomas is not made known anywhere. It only states that it is the tomb!
