The apostle Thomas was martyred in roughly 70 A.D. around the south Indian city of Chennai and his remains are supposed to now reside in Chennai. Though apparently they had been moved at least four times to different parts of the world. The most interesting thing about the tomb was that the electricity was off and it made for an evocative environment. I tend to think only of Thomas as a doubter, a skeptic and not as a strong believer who went to South India to spread the gospel. So a brief candle in a large room seemed quite apt.
