Things to do in August: Madhu Church Festival, Mannar

If you’re in Sri Lanka in August, there are a couple of things worth seeing.  The closest to our heart is the Elephant Gathering in Minneriya National Park – we LOVE elephants when they’re roaming free in protected areas 🙂
On the other side of the island in early August is the Madhu Church festival, which is a huge draw for Sri Lankan catholics and very interesting to see. Thousands of Catholic devotees flock from all over the island to the Church premises to celebrate the day of assumption of the hallowed Virgin Mary.

Festivities begin after a ceremonial hoisting of the flag and religious observances. Sermons held in both Sinhala and Tamil, and the same with high masses, usher offer praise. The shrine of the Virgin Mary is carried on the shoulders of her followers in and around the Church premises in an immense procession. Throughout the duration of this procession, crowds can be heard reciting the Rosary and singing hymns. Time and time again “Hail Marys” and “Amens’ rise harmoniously into the air, in admiration of their idol.
The celebrations continue for up to ten days, with food, garment, cutlery and many more vendors entertaining the crowds that linger on for as long as the festivities last. This is probably a day visit as places to stay in Mannar are few and far between.  Mind you, just a 2.5 hours from Jaffna and a couple of hours from Anuradhapura, you can combine some very interesting sight seeing and Mannar itself gives you access to a lesser developed Sri Lanka.

    Health Screening at Nawaloka Hospital for Less than $200 USD

Health Screening at Nawaloka Hospital for Less than $200 USD

If it’s been a while since you had a full health check up, you might want to consider getting a once over in Sri Lanka.  It’s professional, it’s significantly cheaper than Europe and Australia and after a 3-day stay in the Negombo area and just a couple of visits to the hospital you can have a comprehensive health check up and gain peace of mind for the rest of the year.

Nawaloka Hospital in Negombo town offers a wide range of Out Patient Heath Check Packages ranging in price from a basic diabetes check up for less than $10USD to a comprehensive full body check up for about $195USD +VAT for women and $160USD+ VAT for men.  You don’t even need to make an appointment, although it’s good to arrange it in advance as many of the blood tests require a 12-hour fast.

It’s simple, fast (often just 4-5 hours of tests) and then you wait for the results to come back before you have a full consultation with each of the relevant medical specialists.

So, if you’ve had a nagging health issue that you want to investigate, or you’re due for an annual check up, perhaps you can incorporate it into your holiday and go home with happy memories and a bill of clean health.

Nawaloka also offers the same services in Colombo.
