St Mary's Orthodox Church, Kallooppara, Orthodox church in Kallooppara, India
The interior of St Mary's Orthodox Church contains traditional Kerala woodwork, stone carvings, murals depicting biblical stories, and religious icons from multiple centuries.
Founded in 1339, the church emerged after the Edappally king witnessed a funeral procession and granted land to establish a place of worship for local Christians.
The church maintains Syrian Orthodox traditions through regular services, festivals, and religious ceremonies that connect the community to their ancient Christian heritage.
The church operates educational programs, social welfare initiatives, and community support services through various organized groups within its premises.
Before this church existed, local Christians traveled 13 miles by boat across two rivers to reach the nearest church in Niranam for religious services.
