Sta. Cruz Chapel Melaka - Jalan Malim

In 1850, ten years after the discovery of the Holy Cross, the Santa Cruz church was erected on the hills of Marim. The Mass is held once a year on September 14th (or the Sunday closest to that day). In 2018, a mass will be held at Marim Church for 4 days from Thursday, September 13th to Sunday, September 16th. Tens of thousands of pilgrims and Christians come from all over Singapore and Southeast Asia, not just within Malaysia. Japanese people can attend, but since it is a holy place for Christian Catholics, please wear smart casual clothes and try to observe quietly during the mass. Mass of Santa Cruz Chapel Malim Hill, Melaka in 2018 will be held from 13th (Thursday) to 16th (Sunday) September.

Let me introduce the story that most people believe. Once upon a time, a poor woman who believed in Christ lived in the city of Kubu, Malacca. She lived in poverty, but she never missed praying to Christ. One day she got a serious illness, but she didn't have the money to buy medicine and, of course, she couldn't see a doctor. Sick, she dreamed. In the dream, a mysterious old man appeared and told her that "the cross will be found on the hill of Marim." A few days later, a family of women who came to Marim Hill with the help of their neighbors found a 46-centimeter cross on a hill dotted with termite nests. Thanks to this cross, the poor woman who lived in the city of Kubu was able to regain her health. This true story is passed down from the town of Kubu to the surrounding villages, and it is said that many people's illnesses, injuries, dementia, cancer, and incurable illnesses were cured by praying and praying on the cross. But greedy humans make mistakes. Although it is a "miracle cross" that can be understood by praying, some greedy humans scrape a part of the cross and wear it as a "guardian", or a person who decocts a scraped piece of wood and drinks it instead of a "medicine" scrapes it. I started to hurt. The miraculous cross, which cures incurable illnesses, has been turned into a tragic figure by sinful humans. The injured cross overlaps the life of Christ, who bears the sins of a poor human being. Currently, a reprinted replica cross is hung on the altar of the church and is guarded by local believers 24 hours a day on duty. And the chapel is locked and closed except for just four days in the year of the Mass.
