There are no words to describe. Looks extremely old. Established in 63 AD. This happens to be the "half church" / chapel established by St. Thomas. A nostalgic feeling when you enter this orthodox church. There are some very old stone carvings plus in a glass case that says a relic of St. Thomas. Overall, it was a very good feeling and.... PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS CHURCH worth every bit of your time and effort to be here and pray.

Very old chruch build by st Thomas had a good look. Also had the old things which used by the pastors. Also had the tomb of st Thomas near the chruch. Nice place to visit.

This is a very old Church and unique. It's said to be a part of ezhara palli (7 and half). Must visit.

Oldest church .....made by St.Thomas. Good vibes only. Holy Qurbana timing for Sundays is early morning 6:30am. If u r around this place, make sure to visit it... U definitely wouldn't regret it .

Its the oldest church in the state. Very calm and peaceful. The surroundings are maintained so well.

Beautiful experience visiting this holy place build by St. Thomas, direct disciple of Jesus Christ himself. One can see a small cross in the chapel carved by St. Thomas himself. The building looks and feels ancients blessed with the vibes of the great ones. The inner chapel has a distinct air of silence amidst a small bustling town. Met the revered head priest there who happily pointed out the relics of St Thomas and allowed us to photograph those.

A very unique church, constructed on raw granite slabs, still remaining in its original condition for more than thousand years, believed to be by St Thomas.

The most holy place for the Christian, experienced Christianity in India with 2000 year history. Bless to visit this place last week.

It's a historically religious church which was built by St. Thomas, one of the 12 Apostles.

Claimed to be the oldest Church in the world, started by St. Thomas in 63 AD. Part of the seven and a half churches started by him in Malabar coast. No one knows why it is called half church. Probably corruption of the Malayalam word "Arapally", meaning King"s Church. Later "Ara" corrupted to half.

This church was built by st. Thomas 2000 yrs ago . Half church was built by him so its called as arapalli. When we get into it u can feel that u were surrounded by peace and pleasent

Among the seven and half churches founded by saint Thomas. Historic evidences are preserved here

Thrilling experience to see the First Church built by St.Thomas the Apostle of Jesus Christ.

The oldest church in world which is still in existence.

A tiny church with great history. Definately people should give it a visit.

Good historic place, well maintained..!! If they provide canteen facility for pilgrimage then it'll be too good..! Easily accessible, in good location also..! Here you can see our unity in diversity of our country.! A Christian Church next to hindu temple at muslim area..!♥♥

Oldest church in the world. Feeling blessed for visiting this place.
