The Malayattur-Feast commemorates the establishment of one of the seven churches and shrine by St. Thomas, the Apostle of Christ. As St. Thomas sailed from Syria to the ancient port of Kodugallore his followers are still known as Syrian Christians. On this feast, celeberated on the second Sunday after Easter Sunday, devotees wind up the 2,000-foot-high hill, treading a stony path to a simple little church. Chants and prayer fill the air there is the inevitable fair. |
