during his evangelistic activity in india in the first century, thomas the apostle is said to have founded "seven and a half" churches. three currently claim the status of having been the "half church". they are:

st mary's orthodox church, also known as the 'royal church', in thiruvithamkode, tamil nadu. it claims to be the world's oldest functioning church that hasn't been reconstructed, though the 'main' parts of the structure were built between the 17th-20th centuries. today, it's under the jurisdiction of the malankara orthodox syrian church. former church primate baselios marthoma didymos I proclaimed the site as an international st. thomas pilgrim center.

the hilltop church in malayattoor, kerala. local tradition goes that, facing hostile natives in the area, st. thomas fled to a hilltop, where he remained in prayer. there, he left a cross and a footprint on a nearby rock. these were later found and a shrine was built in their place. today, it's under the jurisdiction of the syro-malabar catholic church, and a part of the larger shrine on the hilltop dedicated to st. thomas. (a much larger church is located nearby). the vatican declared it an international shrine and a pilgrimage up the hill takes place annually after lent.

st george's church in aruvithura, kerala. the first edifice of the church was made in the manner of a hindu temple. when one of the seven churches was destroyed, several of its congregants migrated to aruvithura with a statue of st. george, hence this church's dedication. it's since been rebuilt, including a larger expansion in the 16th century. today, it's a parish of the syro-malabar catholic church.

#india #architecture #interior #worship #christian #abrahamic kerala #my posts #the deco in the first one’s more sparse bc east syriac/assyrian orthodox churches don’t usually have iconography #bc they were often in isolated/rural areas and were more affected by religious impositions as islam spread through the middle east #(islam isn’t big on iconography) #probably got to india by contact over the years since st thomas christians were under the church of the east's jurisdiction for a while #i mean they have a /lot/ more decorations compared to assyrian coe churches but no statues of jesus like in the syro catholic churches #i need to post a coe church here someday they have their own forms of decoration/ways they adapted to it

മലവേടൻ പാറ. വളരെ അവിചാരിതമായാണ് ഈ പാറ കണ്ണിൽ പെട്ടത്. അക്വഡേറ്റിനു മുകളിലൂടെ നടക്കുമ്പോൾ താഴെ തൂങ്ങി കിടക്കുന്ന കടവാവലുകൾ മാത്രമായിരുന്നു ചിന്തയിൽ. അതിനിടയിൽ ഏതോ ഒരു മൃഗത്തിൻറെ ചീഞ്ഞളിഞ്ഞ ശവശരീരവും അസ്ഥികൂടവും... മനസ്സിൽ മടിച്ചിരുന്ന ഭയത്തെ ഒന്നുകൂടി ഉദ്ധീപിപ്പിക്കുന്ന തരത്തിൽ ഒരു ഭയാനക മുഖസൗന്ദര്യമുള്ള ഒരു പാറ. ഏതോ പാറമട തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ കരവിരുതിന്റെ ബാക്കിപത്രമാണ്. ഒന്നുകൂടി സൂക്ഷിച്ചു നോക്കി. അതേ... ഇതതു തന്നെ. മല അതിന്റെ സർവ്വ രൗദ്ര ഭാവത്തോടും കൂടെ നോക്കികൊണ്ട്‌ നിൽക്കുന്നു. ആ മുഖഭാവം ശ്രദ്ദിച്ചാലറിയാം. ക്രൂരതയെക്കാൾ ഉത്കണ്ഠയും ദേഷ്യവുമാണ് ആ മുഖത്തു സ്ഫുരിക്കുന്നത്. തന്നെ അമിതമായ ചൂഷണത്തിന് വിധേയമാക്കിയ മനുഷ്യനോടുള്ള ദേഷ്യം. കാതിൽ പച്ച കടുക്കനുമിട്ടു കാത്തിരിക്കുകയാണ്. അടുത്ത ചൂഷകനെയും കാത്ത്... മലയാറ്റൂരിനടുത്തു ഒരു 4-5 കിലോമീറ്റർ സഞ്ചരിച്ചാൽ ഈ സ്ഥലത്തെത്താം. - - - - - - #malayattoor #malayaali #malayatoor #malayattoor_heads #malayattoor__stories #instamalayalam #instamallufollowers #instamalayali #instakerala #instakochi #angamalydiaries #angamalidiaries #kochitaxi24x7 #kalady #kodanad #kodanaduviewpoint #perumbavoor #perumbavoorkaran #ernakulamdiaries #ernakulam (at Ayyampuzha) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTcSIrWBNxr/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the footprints of St. Thomas preserved till date at the pilgrimage centre in Malayattoor, Kerala. I had the opportunity to climb up the malayattoor hills and see the footprints and attend the Holy Mass during the last lenten season. The Holy Mass was round the clock and non-stop. Truly a Holy place to visit during lent.
