Most churches in Kerala follow the tradition of Syrian Christians, known as Saint Thomas Christians (also called Syrian Christians of India, Nasrani, Malankara Nasrani, and Nasrani Mappila). The remainder of religious people in Kerala are Latin Catholics, or part of a minority of Protestant Christians.
St. Thomas, one of the primary disciples of Jesus Christ, is believed to have visited India during the 1st century and founded eight churches in Kerala, the foremost being St. Mary's Church.[1] The church is located at Niranam, near Thiruvalla, and many ancient relics are still preserved in its museum.
