The Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians, additionally just known as the Cathedral, is the seat of the Bishop of Shillong and was worked more than 50 years prior. This blue building has turned into a critical milestone of the city and for a state with a Christian populace of over 80%, this Cathedral is an essential place of love, instead of only a vacation destination. Love birds surge here only for a photograph shoot and all the more regularly to look for gifts. The Cathedral is a vital place for around 300,000 Catholic having a place with the Archdiocese of Shillong.Catholic loyal walk out in the city once consistently, in what is known as the Annual Eucharistic Procession. The parade is hailed off at the Cathedral of Mary and walks towards St. Edmund's College, at that point Fire Brigade ground and after that down towards Laitumkhrah, taking a total U turn. The parade at that point closes at the Calvary, (a statue of Jesus on the cross) which is only inverse to the Cathedral. It was Sunday. The roads are generally less swarmed on Sundays. I was shocked when I couldn't get a navigate to Laitumkhrah, since generally there was no deficiency of Taxis. A person offered me a lift on his bicycle, which I declined cordially. He just took a gander at me vacantly and stated, 'There are no taxicabs to Laimu, the roads are shut for the parade. I'm going there." It so turned out that roads were not just shut to vehicles; they were fervently possessed by individuals. I joined the parade at Fire Brigade Ground. There was no sight of movement. The ground was completely stuffed with nearby transports, individuals and temporary shops. Men, ladies and youngsters wearing Sundays garments lined on each side of the street. The street resembled a waterway and the general population, sands on its banks. I heard a low automaton and afterward later echoes of songs. The singing shut in and the parade at last rose up out of a turning close to the Fire Brigade ground, driven by ministers and pursued by a band. Devout clerics were wearing fine garments, with shades of gold. They were trailed by individuals from various wards, every area singing totally extraordinary tunes yet by one means or another they were joined by their confidence and convictions. A large number of Catholics from all parts of Shillong participated in the parade, moving the road toward a human waterway. The dim heads ricocheting in little movements looked like waves on a river.Thousands of individuals viewed from the patios and roadside. Statues and cut out highlights of Jesus, Mary and Joseph are frequently set up out and about. The parade is so brilliant and dynamic. Passers by are not permitted to walk or meddle in the parade. It was relatively difficult to cross the street, once the parade starts. Individuals were stranded for the greater part a hour.Around 10 Parishes from Shillong and 23 different Parishes under the Archdiocese of Shillong participated in the parade. Every one of the wards was recognized by a pennant with their Parish name on it. The parade includes singing songs and supplications. The parade is another plume in the bright culture of Shillong.
