ThePrintPod; An exhibition themed around St Francis Xavier shows how the personal intersects with the historical

It’s the decennial exposition of the relics of St Francis Xavier, Goa’s patron saint. Stories and legends around Goencho Saib are a part of Goa’s collective memory, passed down through generations in souvenirs, artefacts, and treasured photographs of past expositions. These intimate archives of faith and memory come together in Sacred Archives: Memories & Objects, a new exhibition from Goa Familia, an archival project, on view at the Museum of Christian Art. The exhibition reveals how sacred relics can become private talismans… and as with every Goa Familia project, how the personal intersects with the historical.
