Thomas, the Doubting Disciple, evangelized India before being martyred in Mylapore. He is believed to have landed (ca. 51-52 AD/CE) near the coastal village of Cranganore (Kodungallur, Kerala State, India) on the southern tip of the Indian land mass. This settlement is located 29 km northwest of Kochi and 38 km southwest of Thrissur.
Thomas established churches at Kodungallour, Kollam, Niranam, Nilackal, Kokkamangalam, Kottakkayal, Palayoor, and Thiruvithancode Arapally. At the Palayoor church, Thomas raised the first cross in India.
