Apostle St. Thomas travelled throughout Kerala, preaching Gospel.
Though St. Thomas Christians (Syrian Christians) have moved to various
denominations, the parental body - Indian Orthodox Church - maintained
its independent nature and is headed by the Catholicos of the Apostolic
Throne of St. Thomas, headquartered at Devalokam, Kottayam, India.
The church follows Syrian liturgies and the traditions based on Indian culture.
The Orthodox Christians number to about 2.5 million in about 1400 parishes, under 30 dioceses. read more >> |
