At least 12,000 people gathered in the western state of Goa, India, on Thursday for the opening of a decennial exposition of the saint's partially incorrupt remains.

The celebration takes place amid growing violence toward Indian Christians, which has "skyrocketed" according to a 2024 report by U.S. Christian leaders who urged the U.S. State Department to add India to the watchlist for religious freedom violations.
