The Nossa Senhora de Merces church (Our Lady of Mercy) in Colva is famous for its annual religious event-Fama of Menino Jesuse (Child Jesus)-since the 17th century.

The predominantly Catholic community celebrates it on the third Monday of October every year. It is one of Goa's most popular feasts and a big fair is held on the occasion at Colva.
