Sinna Madhu Matha Shrine

This Church is situated in the village of Chaddy which abuts the sea and is in the Velanai area of the Islands in the Jaffna district. This Church is having a long history of nearly 450 years behind it. This was built in 1544 A.D. by the Portugese.

Then it was destroyed during the regime of the Dutch. However, the statue of Our Lady of Madhu was found intact in a well and then installed in the new Church that was built in 1928.

The annual high festivals start from the 6th of September each year and goes on for nine days and ends up with the 9th day festival. You find infant Jesus in one hand and a ship in the other hand in the statue of Our Lady of Madhu
