Further down south on Marina is
the Santhome Cathedral Basilica. According to the
legends, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ - St.
Thomas, in his mission to spread Christianity in
Asia, came to Chennai soon after Jesus was
crucified. He lived and preached in St. Thomas Mount
and later took asylum in the caves at Little Mount.
He was assassinated and buried there. This Cathedral
has been built on his burial site.
