This flag pole proudly waves a flag of Mary and baby Jesus in front of the Velankanni Church in Chennai. Much like I've seen at the golden pole at Hindu temples, these people are touching the pole and looking up, as if the pole and sacred image above will bring some sort of good luck. The Velankanni Festival attracts Christians and people of different faiths, many of whom are seeking to be amongst the recipients of a miracle.
