St. Thomas, one of the twelve chosen
Disciples of Christ and the Apostle of
India who sowed the seeds of Christianity in India, set foot at Cranganore (Kodungallur) in
52 AD. At that time Cranganore (Kodungallur) was a busy center of commerce and an
important port. He traveled about various parts of Kerala by water and
land, preaching the Gospel and forming Christian communities which began to grow
and several of them sprang up in the vicinities of Thrissur Town too.
The heart of the town, known for its spiritual and cultural heritage, was a
dense forest in those days. |
