Perianayagi Madha Shrine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from  The Perianayagi Madha Shrine ) Periya_Nayagi_Shrine Periyanayagi Madha shrine [1]  is a famous Roman Catholic Church, dedicated to St.  Mary , mother of  Jesus  constructed by an Italian missionary Fr.  Constantine Beschi  also called as Veeramamunivar. It is in  Cuddalore  district in  Tamil Nadu ,  India . History [ edit ] Once  Konankuppam  was a forest where people from the nearby village brought their flocks for grazing. During the 17th century an Italian missionary, Fr.Beshi, brought two statues of Mother Mary to consecrate at  Elakurichi  ( Thirukavalur ), where he worked. Passing through the forest on the way to Elakurichi he felt tired, and fell asleep under a tree. Children who were looking after their cattle nearby playfully hid one of the statues behind a bush. Fr. Beshi was upset to discover that a statue was missing and went on sadly. Periya_Na
