The roots of the Syro Malabar Christians in Mananthavady embedded to the tradition of St. Thomas the Apostle, who enkindled the faith of their forefathers in the very first century itself. Since then, the St. Thomas Christians have been enthusiastic to preserve and proclaim their unique faith tradition through the generations. For centuries they nourished the custom of keeping their faith and liturgical practices with them, wherever they go.
