Manapad is a coastal village of South India, near Tuticorin and Tiruchendur.
St. Francis Xavier came to Manapad in 1542, when he began missionary activity on the Fishery Coast.[1][2] He lived in a grotto cavern on the seaward face of a cliff and held mass at a chapel of the Captain's Cross, built from a ship's mast after a storm in 1540. Holy Cross Church, built close to the sea in 1581, has a relic fragment believed to be from the True Cross of Jerusalem. From 1 to 14 September, every year, the cross is publicly displayed for thousands who attend the festival season. (Source: Wiki)
