    My review is not for the newly constructed beautiful church, where I like to sit right on the floor under the dome, in meditation. But it is for the old Christ the King statue installed outside where millions of people like me come to pray. I have a feeling that whatever asked earnestly in prayer is granted here- it is here that I prayed for two of my friends who were having repeated miscarriages for years. Both were blessed with children within a year of my praying here and it does not surprise me. I love the serene face of the Christ the King statue, especially His eyes- they're kind and lucid. When I pray standing before the statue and touch His cloak (which we are unable to do now due to covid restrictions), I can literally feel my burdens being cast unto Jesus. Love you, my King. God bless all.

    So peaceful. Such a calm atmosphere and divine feel you will get here. The beach side gives an additional beauty to this classic church and its great art works. The church have a silent divine feel inside it.

    Vettukad Church is one of the famous Christian churches in Trivandrum, Kerala. It is a very calm place to pray and we get a good divine feeling. The church has been renovated recently and the interior of the church has been greatly beautified. In the past, St. Francis Xavier is said to have visited here. Every year, the church festival is celebrated for 10 days in the month of November. The authorities have arranged proper car parking facilities. There is a statue of Christ the King outside the church. If you look closely, you can see something like a king's crown on its head. There are places to light candles, and to get holy water and oil. One thing that I noticed different from other churches is the sacred thread. If you pray and tie the thread in your hand, the thread will be broken by the time that wish is fulfilled. The fact that the church is so close to the beach makes it even more beautiful. In the evening, we can spend time with activities like watch lighted boats with nice breeze, have snacks, do shopping, etc.

    Magnificent Church right on the beach. Madre De Deus is an iconic pilgrimage spot in Trivandrum. The new church is much larger than the older one. People from all over come here for pilgrimage. Parking is available. Traffic maintenance is always there.

    This new building of the Church is now almost 90 years old, having been consecrated in 1937, and whose construction began in 1934. A Christian population is believed to have existed here when St Francis Xavier visited this area in the late 16th century. Since almost 500 years, the Feast of Christ the King has been celebrated in Vettucaud. The Church is really beautiful from the inside and the outside with beautifully carved woodwork and stained glass windows. The main hall is huge with high ceilings.
