It is one of the oldest and renowned churches in Kerala and a priced possession of Malankara Sabha. The church have a legacy of around seven centuries, keeping its tradition and culture intact without compromising on its religious values. The church is a perfect example of the ancient temple architecture and is an elegant representation of the beautiful shingled roof tops in the early Travancore style. The church has a splendid blend of beauty and science in it and is a mystery the way it has overcome all the challenges of time. The church which is the worshiping place of thousands has been a topic of research for many.
In the earlier days the Christian believers of Kallooppara had to depend on the 'Niranam Church' for the holy mass, funeral ceremonies and other religious rites. The journey on Vallom(small boat) through the Manimala and Pampa rivers was tedious, tiresome and risky. The much renowned Edappally Kings were ruling at that time and they used to spend their time in the famous and explicably beautiful Elangalloor Maddom, rich in its architectural antiquity, that once existed on the north side of the river Manimala. A abode for the royal guests that was once well-equipped with a private pool called the 'Kullipura Mallika' equipped with granite rock paved steps carved with excellent craftsmanship to the Manimala river, can still be seen now in Angadikadavu of Puramattam panchayat

The Kunnamthanam Patayani is one among the earliest Patayanis of Central Travancore. The ritual is observed in association with the Madathilkavu Bhagavathy Temple. The Patayani was presented for 8 days from Medam 3 to Medam10. The real architects of the Kunnamthanam Patayani , the Sage like Kanppettil Narayanakurup Asan, Allimangalathu Krishna Pilla Asan, Kamukumcheril Kunjunni Kurup Asan, were its real torch bearers. The Patayani discontinued from 1952 was ritualised again in 2005. The Kunnamthanam Patayani owes its birth to the Gothrakalapeedom, a renowned training group for rituals and folklore. Tharanamuryil T.K. Vasudevan Pilla Asan was instrumental in recreating the KnnamthanamPatayani by keeping in tact its old rites.
Five Ganapathykolams in the guise of Pisachu dancing in the Kalam (ground), the imagery of the sky bound Ambarayakshy descending in a chariot as Chattathelyakshy, and the Devathakolam, resembling the Madthilkkavil Bhagavathy are exclusive features of the Kunnamthanam Patayani.

Pathicadu Church

religious tolerance and solidarity. St. Mary's Church Kallooppara and Vengalassery Church Mallappally which were established earlier were also a mark of their generosity. Hence the history of Pathicadu Church is linked with the history of these two Churches.
In the early days the people of this locality had to depend on St. Mary's Orthodox Church Niranam for their prayers & Holy Mass and other religious rites including the funeral services. It may be recalled on this occasion that the Niranam Church was founded by St.Thomas the apostle himself.In those days when transport facilities were inadequate, the people of this region had to voyage through Manimala River for their journey. (formerly the river was named as ‘Vishakanah’ (word from Sanskrit Literature) It is believed that the water in this river is an antidote to any poison).
St. Thomas C.S I. Church Nedungadappally
The St. Thomas C.S I. Church Nedungadappally has it’s origin in the 19th Century, the century that is known for the great missionary zeal. That enlightened most of the unreached world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was in 1899 that this historic church, totally indigenous with no financial support from any missionary organization has laid its foundation. All the labor sweet, whole hearted contribution and prayers where form the families from the then this part of the great village Mallappally.
The church grew beyond expectation and imagination. We are proud to say that the present structure is the outcome of the whole hearted support of only the members of this church now spread all over the world. This church is an icon among many of the new churches that have come up in the Madhya Kerala Diocese.
The church has spared no toil to reach thus far, and we salute all those who have labored for its great cause. We now cherished the memories of those sages and their legacies to move forward with a church website which would bring volumes of information of the church programs, ministries, activities and various other projects.
