Summary
{{Information
|description=
Rev. Fr Anrriquez Anrrigue was Parish Priest of Mannar ( 1561-1564). Writing from Mannar on the 19th of December ,1561 he says “Half a league from the Fortress is a place which they called Patim. In it were Christians who were already Christians before we came to this island. It is true that at the time we came to inhabit it, they were out of the said island on account of injuries done by the king of the country”.
Other writers also mention Pattim as the place of Martyrdom. ( Valignani in 1583, Tursellinus in 1594 , Lucena in 1601, Manoel de Thaide in 1616 and Garcia in 1672) . The place of martyrdom is known to local residents as Paddi Taravai . It means “The open plain of Patti .The -im in Pattim is Portuguese way of writing a name.
In 1945, Rev. Dr. A.J.B Antoninus, O.M.I, Bastian Fernando, the District Engineer, Public Works Department and student volunteers from St. Xavier’s College, Mannar set out in search of this place called Pattim. They had obtained from Survey Department few ancient maps of Mannar Island and focused their search within a radius of 2 to 3 miles from Mannar Fort. At the end of the 2nd mile post (Talaimannar main road) they turned to the west. There was an open barren land and they followed a foot path and found a mound near the railway line covered with umbrella trees, acacia trees and some bricks protruding and thought was a place worth excavating. They dug up a trench in the nave of a church which they had earlier discovered after removing sand and rubble. They dug 8 by 6 feet trench and 3 feet below, they found several skeletons lying in all direction. Some were small, evidently those of children. Others heads got separated.
Few weeks later Rev Fr. S. Gnanapragasa, O.M.I , Philologist and historian of the Diocese wanted to have the trench opened at the centre of the church. Fr. Antoninus team got a trench 6 by 3 feet opened. There was a full skeleton lying with the head slightly turned. Part of the bones on the edges showed reddish colour.Licensing
