Goycho Sao Joao, Goa's St. John, the Baptist feast
Goycho Sao Joao, Goa's St. John, the Baptist feast is celebrated with fervor and merriment. One of the finest and yet relaxed depiction of the festive occasion in song,music and dances and mouth watering culinary delights. St. John, the baptist wore loin clothes of camel hair and lived on locust and wild honey and his clarion call " to repent" to make way for the arrival of the Saviour. credit : Fr.
