A place with rich historical relevance. Very well maintained by the church authorities. Very helpful priest and guides who volunteered to explain us the history and show around the place in detail. A must visit place to know deep about the origin of Christianity in Kerala. This is the first church (community) established after St Thomas came in India AD52. Hence the place is also known as birthplace of Christianity in India. The original church structure is being retained at the original location.

St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Palayur is located at Palayur (also spelt Palayoor), in Thrissur district in Kerala on the west coast of India. According to tradition, it was established in 52 AD by St Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. It is the first church in India, and is called an Apostolic Church credited to the Apostolate of St. Thomas who preached and also started conversion of people to Christianity here. It was part of the seven churches that he established in India; the other six churches were established at Cranganore, Kokkamangalam, Kottakkavu, Kollam, Niranam, and Chayal (Nilackal). The original small Church structure has been retained at the oldest site. But substantial improvements around it were carried out during the 17th century by Reverend Fenichi, as necessary, without sacrificing the main sanctity of the place.

Christianity is India's third-largest religionafter Hinduism and Islam, with approximately 31.9 million followers, constituting 2.3 percent of India's population (2011 census).[2]According to the tradition of Indian Christians, the Christian faith was introduced to India through conversions by Thomas the Apostle, who is said to have reached the Malabar Coast (Kerala) in 52 AD.[3][4][5][6] According to another tradition Bartholomew the Apostle is credited with simultaneously introducing Christianity along the Konkan Coast.[7] There is a general scholarly consensus that Christian communities were firmly established in the Malabar Coast (Kerala) of India by the 6th century AD,[8] which were communities who used Syriac liturgies. Starting from European colonisations from 15th century several Western Christiancommunities like Latin Rite Catholics and Protestants were created in different parts of the country.
