Summary

Description
English: Located 52 km from Kochi, the Malayatoor church is situated atop of 609 m high Malayatoor Hill. The church is dedicated to St. Thomas, who is believed to have prayed at this shrine. One of the most important Christian pilgrim centres in Kerala, this holy shrine attracts devotees in very large numbers not only from Kerala but also from the neighbouring states. This famous church is situated at Kurisumudi, a verdant hill in the Western Ghats girdled partially by the river Periyar. The church has a life-size statue of St. Thomas and the imprint of the feet of the apostle on a rock. This shrine has now been accorded an international pilgrimage station.
