St. Thomas
shrine at Malayattur a village about six miles to the north of Kaladi
Ernakulam District is believed to be one of the ancient catholic shrines
in the northern part of the state. The chief festival at the shrine
is second Sunday, since the first moon, after the Vernal Equinox (March
21). The Feast, therefore, falls generally in the month of April or
at times in the last week of March. The Octave is celebrated on the
following Sunday. The pilgrims have to climb a hill nearly 2000 feet
high and on top of it is the church.
