Description

Little Mount Church This church is centred on a tiny, rock-hewn cave where St Thomas is believed to have lived when he came to India around AD58. Reputedly fleeing villagers who objected to his teachings, the saint left an imprint of his hand near the entrance. Entry is via a church built in 1551, which enshrines a stone cross that St Thomas is said to have clutched as he died, after being fatally speared by the mob.
