Madhu shrine opens from August 12 to 17




(August 12, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Government will open the Madhu Church for devotees from August 12 to 17.

During this period 200 devotees will be daily given an opportunity to worship the statue of Our Lady of Madhu replaced in her abode in the church only at noon.

After the liberation of the Madhu Church from the clutches of terrorists, de-mining has been carried out in a limited area in the vicinity of the church and this has caused the Government to limit the number of devotees visiting the church.

The Security Forces will also provide food and other facilities to the devotees worshipping the Madhu Shrine.

The devotees are expected to extend their fullest co-operation to the relevant authorities there.
