About Edappally Church Complex

The Edappally Church Complex in Kochi is a fascinating blend of history and spirituality, perfect for a quick tourist stop! It actually comprises two churches: the old St. George Forane Church and the new, grander St. George Church.

The old church, believed to be established in 593 AD, is one of the oldest churches in India. Imagine praying where centuries of faith have echoed! Its humble structure contrasts sharply with the new church, consecrated in 1959, a magnificent example of Indo-European architecture.

Legend says that the church's patron saint, St. George, once appeared to a priest during a robbery attempt. Both churches are dedicated to St. George, and devotees flock here seeking blessings and miracles. The annual feast attracts thousands! A visit provides a glimpse into Kerala's rich Christian heritage and its unique architectural styles.
