Crucifix, St. Thome Church


In the front of St. Thome Church in Chennai is a statue of Jesus on the cross. While that is not so unusual, some additions are not what you would normally see in a church. Below Jesus is a lotus, a favorite Hindu symbol representing beauty and non-attachment. On each side is a peacock, a prominent symbol of this region of Chennai known as Mylapore.
