Blessing of the fields at Calangute: St. Alex Church
On the 15th August of every year there is also a tradition where the Priest says a prayer and blesses the fields/crops of the village of Calangute (paddy crop) and later a few sheaves are placed on tray and distributed among the people after the high mass.
People take the blessed ‘Konsa’ (sheave) after the mass.
The sheaves are placed at the altar at homes and some put the ‘Konsa’ in their cars as a sign of a symbolic protection.
