Ancient Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church

Truly a divine haven. As one of the ancient churches in kerala and a designated "Georgian Pilgrim Centre of India". Sacred atmosphere.

A tranquil and ideal place for peaceful and soothing prayers.

This old church is a divine beauty. There is a lot of parking place. The vintage look of the entire church has been maintained even after the construction of the new building. A well-made concrete cross structure at the beginning of the church is an added ambience. Interior and exterior looks have been made to go even with the vintage feel. There is a well-maintained and protected tree that serves as a shade during a hot day.

Ancient church in Kerala, It's near hill palace, easy accesible,extensive parking, divine...

I love this church. It's so serene that being there itself gives us a divine feeling. Especially in the evenings..

It's on Thriponithura near Hillpalace.

Peaceful place for workship and it is one of the ancient churches of the Syrian Orthodox church

Spiritual place to rest urself in.

It is one among the ancient Churches in Kerala, established in 722 AD. St.Gregorios popularly known as Parumala Kochu Thirumeni was ordained as Deacon in this Church. Church has also witnessed many historical events. It has beautiful architecture.

A calm and quiet place next to one of the busiest junctions in this area, but as I said once you enter the church, you are in a different world, you won't even hear the traffic and the Altar is massive and majestic... The prayer hall is cool and huge and we'll ventilated.. you won't feel tired at all listening to long prayers before weddings ( i had gone there for a wedding 🙂).. All in all a great place of worship, ample parking area and a spacious parish hall adjacent..

An old church with calm and pleasant atmosphere. It can easily accommodate large numbers of devotees. The extensive parking area it self is an added attraction considering the present vehicle density. The attached party hall is also spacious and well maintained. The availability of public conveyance, proximity to bus stand and railway station make it a busy centre.

It’s a nice and a calm place in the proper town
