It's an event that has come after centuries in the Indian catholic church. Thousands of Indians will come together at the Vatican in Rome on Sunday as the Pope grants sainthood to a Kerala born nun who died more than 60 years ago. Canonisation or the process of elevating someone to sainthood is a rare honour, which is being given to the first Indian woman -- the blessed Alphonsa.
