'''Kurusady St. Antony's Church''', which is believed to be 400 years old, is near [[Nagercoil]] on the southern tip of India. It was said that a [[Hindu]] [[Nadar caste|Nadar]] found a stone with a cross embossed on it. He had dreams and received orders from a form of light to build a church. Worship began in a humble manner and the place came to be called Curusadi ("Curusu" is the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] word for cross). Later on, after 21 years of construction, a new church came into being in 1911.<br />
