Actually, Kerala has one of the oldest Christian communities in the world that dates back to the 1st century, believed to be formed by the evangelisation efforts of St Thomas himself, and it is also the largest Easter church. So Christianity in Kerala is not found solely because of the European influence. That is why the Kerala Christians have their own traditions and customs and they are more similar to the Indian traditions than western. They also have their own cuisine called the Syrian Christian cuisine.
That's so interesting! It's so odd they don't mention this on the tours, it seems like sort of a big thing to leave out 🤔. I'm going to be doing even more research, the history is really amazing, thank you! 🙏🏻🇮🇳
Hmm yea, to be honest for people in Kerala it’s just normal or is something that doesn’t need to be specially explained. Christianity, Hinduism and islam has been coexisting since forever( the first church in 1st AD and the first mosque in 7th AD and temples since BC), and each sect having distinct lifestyles and dialects of their own and yet living harmonious. Only in the recent times people started realising what the west really assumes of them. Most of the western churches don’t even know that India has Christians and think they brought Christianity to india where they themselves were not Christians up until the 5th century. I am glad I could explain a bit of the history. Have a pleasant trip 😄
Loll 1st century your sayings is like Jesus came from Jerusalem to Kerala🤣. Kerala is still a Hindu land, land of Hinduism. Christianity came from portuguese invaders or as you guys claiming 52AD or 1st AD whatsoever, landed and converted either intentionally or unintentionally or thorough influence, still it’s perceived as the Christianity came from outsiders to India, no matter at what year it came.
@@Get.Lost.TravelDon’t believe them Christianity came to this Hindu land from European invaders like 15th century Portuguese invaded kerala first and started occupying & spreading Christianity around the Kerala state. 1st century is a joke bro.
thats just a believe, there is no evidence for that, mostly likely christianity came to Kerala through trade right after it was established and not by the European influences but there is not proof of Thomas coming to Kerala.
That's a common misconception held by many Kerala Christians. I was taught that in Sunday school, but it took me years to realize that it's actually a myth! 😝
Kerala: It has a significant history of balancing many religions. You have Hindus, Muslims and Christians living side by side w/o issues. -Some churches are way older than the Europeans who arrived in the 1500s. There is a long history of ancient Christians. -There are ancient mosques (as old as the religion itself). -Kerala was a hub of the spice trade in ancient times (2000 years ago). -The most valuable temple in the world which resides in India. -Good tea estates, incredible backwaters (have to rent a boat and stay for a few days, private bath and bed with a personal chef), fantastic beaches, nature resorts, treehouse stays, hiking the mountains. -Kathakali and Kalaripayattu.

the third church you mentioned Coonan Kurish church is where the Coonan oath took place. the oath was against Portuguese control over Christians in Kerala. when Portuguese first landed in Kerala, they got shocked by seeing Christian community in Kerala. but Christians in Kerala were following eastern tradition. so, Portuguese tried to control Christain community and tried to bring them under pope. so, some Christians stood against it and took the oath in that church. that's why that church is called Coonan Kurish church.
You should try kerala cuisines which is filled with Fishes, Beef, chicken and pork. And Don't miss Porotta and Beef also Toddy and Pork+karimeen fry with kappa
7:16 Nice Bollywood moment you had there. 😆 I could definitely see how Kochi will become a popular tourist destination. It seems like they're getting ready for it. Kochi is also a prefecture in Japan so I'm wasn't that surprised to find out that it has a Chinese name origin.
😂 Love a Bollywood moment. And yeah! I'm not sure that "Kochi" is of Chinese origin, but I know that the alternative name "Cochin" is! They sort of use both interchangeably.
St Thomas or popularly called the doubting Thomas, one of the 12 Disciples of Jesus Christ, came here in 52 AD and established the First Church here in Kerala. So Christianity here dates back almost to the 1st century AD. We have Syrian Christians here who were the first Christians when St Thomas established his Church here. He was martyred in St Thomas Mount in Chennai, Tamilnadu. Portuguese came here and set up Roman Catholic Church by 1500 A D. Syrian Christians follow the Eastern Rites whereas the Roman Catholics follow the Latin Rites. Now there is an ongoing feud here between the followers of Eastern and Latin Rites as there is a move to make all rites into the Latin one. Several Church Leaders and Laity are divided over the issue in Kochi.
Why spreading misinformation buddy. The feud is within the syro Malabar catholic Church which is an eastern catholic church. Between some priests and laity in Syro Malabar Archdiocese of Ernakulam Angamaly with their church leadership. They don't want to accept the synodal way of holy mass. The Latin or the Roman catholic church in Kerala doesn't have any role in this issue. There is no move to make all rites to latin as u mentioned. Leave the Roman catholics alone.
If you go to Malayattoor in kerala.. You can see where st. Thomas formed his first church its a pilgrimage site nowadays during Easter you could see millions of peeps for pilgrimage carrying big wooden cross and all
@@Get.Lost.Travel but i warn you weeks before Easter is usually chaotic, especially on good Friday, roads will be blocked for miles.. So if you ever try visiting during last week try renting a bike or scooty so you will able to skip road block.. Plus you have to hike 2-3 hrs over a hill to reach that church
Hi Mate, Being a Kochi lover from tamilnadu.

If you are interested you can visit Nadamel Marth Mariam Church in Thrippunithura, Kochi.This Church is a great example of religious harmony existed in Kerala even before centuries.Nadamel Marth Mariam Church in is a 12th-century built church in Tripunithura, Kochi , India. It belongs to the Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church.Nadamel Church was founded in the 12th Century(even centuries before the arrival of Porchughese )on land donated by Valamthuruthy Bhattathiri the Hindu King of Kochi. The Archetecture of this church is a fusion of Kerala Archetecture and Church Archetecture..Nadamel church was patronised by the Cochin royal family. Whenever a new heir ascended the throne (on the 11th day after the demise of the departed monarch) he would make an offering called sharkara thattu veypu in person at the church. It was customary for the Royal Highnesses of Cochin to meet the bishops and leaders of the Syrian Christian community at the church building to the south of this church.
Sooo interesting! Honestly the religious history in Kerala/Kochi is truly fascinating I could (and will continue) to just read so much about it. Thank you for this, I hope to visit that church one day as well! 🙏🏻
india is not chaotic in most places as its mostly rural visit places like coorg, mankulam, mamalakandam, ooty, kodaikanal, aizwal, cherrapunji, pobitaro, nameri, tawang, corbett, kasauni, munshiyari, sangla, sojha, kargil, mahbalipuram, south goa and many more.

@@Get.Lost.Travel Yeah it is. These things are famous and sold everywhere in Araku. Just don't go from November to February. You can't drive or go anywhere in all that damn fog. Araku is a family/group Hill Station resort, not so attractive for solo travellers except writers and poets.
Right? I mean I paid him for the whole day, and once we got started we didn't add any additional hours. So ultimately I did pay him for it, and he got to save some gas. So I think he made out OK!
am also a christian believer from kerala bro... Christianity in Kerala is older than Europe, with some evidence suggesting that the Apostle Thomas visited the Kerala coast in 52 AD, which is before Europeans arrived in South Asia.
Hello🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I would like to tell you about a beautiful hidden place in kerala known as MUNDROTHURUTHU, which is an inland island group located at the confluence of Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River in Kollam district, Kerala, South India. It is a group of eight small islets. You must visit there and enjoy the natural beauty of nature Thank you🤗🤗
I believe it! Personally I don't drive much, and definitely am not comfortable driving internationally, so I personally rely on these sorts of tours and locals. But you're right!
Excuse me, St. Thomas one of disciples of Jesus came to Kerala in AD52 and that`s the beginning of Christian Community in India and he was murdered in Tamilnadu, India. Not the europeans started christianity in India.:) Please don`t spread lies
There are different types of Christians in Kerala. Major type of Christian, s in Kerala are Catholic( 3 type of Catholics -Syro Malabar, Malankara Catholic and Latin Catholic ),Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite, Christian,s, Anglican Church Christians and Protestant, s.Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite,(which uses west syriac in their prayer's )belongs to Oriental Orthadox Christian family which was not present in Europe until recent migration, s happened from middle east. The Syro malabar Catholic church uses east syriac litrurgy which is totally different from the latin litrurgy used by Catholics in western Europe.As per belief Christianity was started by St thomas in ad 52 in Kerala which was one of the trading hub at that time . Kerala has Jewish Presence's at that time itself.But we don't have a solid proof weather St Thomas came in Kerala or not. But between 3rd and 5 th century there are proof that christianity was established in india.These christians were under Church of the east centered in Iraq which uses east syriac litrurgy. The Importance's of this Syriac language is it is a dialect of Aramaya language which jesus Christ used to spoke. In Christianity there are mainly three type of Litrurgycal traditions are their 1)latin litrurgy 2)Greek litrurgy 3)Syriac litrurgy.The 3rd litrugical tradition is present now a day's in Kerala and some middle eastern counties only. Actually Porchughese brought Catholic church to Kerala in 15 th century . They try to impose latin litrurgy to Kerala Christian, s When a syrian orthadox bishop named ahntulla was killed by porchughese in chennai while he was comming to Kerala,which eventually ends in the split of church. rejected Catholic belief and joined Syrian Orthadox Church centered in syria.. To bring them back vatican itself takes initiative and made negotiations. At last Vatican tells that you can continue in Catholic church by following syriac traditions. Those who rejected joined Syriac orthadox church.Later British missionaries brought Anglican Christianity or Protestant Christianity to Kerala.. Kerala SyrianChristian, s have their own traditional dressing style(Chattayum Mundum), artform(Margamkali ), etc which are totaly keralite in culture.
Sheeeeessssshhhh! Well firstly, thank you for taking the time to type this out. I'm pretty sure I'm more confused now than I was before I read it, this history is ✨complex✨ but very interesting!
😂 It sort of was how it had to fall into my schedule to be there during Monsoon, I know 😫 But I got lucky everywhere I went aside from Mumbai! Even in Kochi I had a lot of time without rain, thankfully
Modern Kochi is designed by British in 1923 their dreamegacity after Singapore.They created Willindon Island in Cochin harbourmouth which is assumed finest natural harbour in the world.In Cochin they built International seaport,Railways,Roadways,airport,Boatjetties etc. all multimodel trasportations modes within 1 km radials only place in the world that time,connected to London with passerngers and cargo!Enviaged a New Singapore like megacity in this little kerala.After.indipendence Kerala lost a future megacity like Honkong or Shanghai due to negligence by Northindian leaders of Indipendent India,still this neglect continues .....blind new administrators of modern India! and only loss of Kerala!😂😂
Negligence of north India? Bro you voted communist and they never allow industrial development. That's why Kerala have high unemployment and goes to other states and countries.
Christianity is the major factor behind kerala's literacy in comparison with other states and its lower superstitious beleifs. Actually christianity played a major role in the socio economic development in kerala. with just 18 % of the christian population, the most educational institutions from colleges to play schools are christian management. Infact, kerala was a land of many demonic and barbaric beleifs ranging from oppressive caste system and sati (burning of women with their deceased husband) to untouchability. Christianity offered educational and healthcare to every human being irrespective of their religious and economic backgrounds and uplifted the society as a whole.
Christianity aint here because of the Europeans lol...Christianity in Europe and Kerala spread around the same time...same goes for islam... it's cuz Kerala was like the trading centre for many countries...(you can also gind the Roman coins here)

Man, welcome to our god's own country..🎉 the place where place respect each others religion..
Thank you! It's really great, the rest of the world should take note!
I feel bad for that tuk tuk driver waiting for 3hours is crazy. I hope he worked during those hours
Right? I mean I paid him for the whole day, and once we got started we didn't add any additional hours. So ultimately I did pay him for it, and he got to save some gas. So I think he made out OK!
Glad you enjoyed our City! Do Visit again !!
I really hope to!!
Kochi !!
It's great!!
am also a christian believer from kerala bro... Christianity in Kerala is older than Europe, with some evidence suggesting that the Apostle Thomas visited the Kerala coast in 52 AD, which is before Europeans arrived in South Asia.
So I've heard! Really interesting, I've been learning so much
Please go to Munnar.. super place .. my hometown.... must visit Asia's biggest cross in EZHUKUMVAYAL kurisumala...

Hello🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I would like to tell you about a
beautiful hidden place in kerala known as
MUNDROTHURUTHU,
which is an inland island group located at the confluence of Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River in Kollam district, Kerala, South India. It is a group of eight small islets. You must visit there and enjoy the natural beauty of nature
Thank you🤗🤗
Hello!! Ah wow that sounds absolutely amazing, wow! I'll add it to the list!
You are seeing only the things they showed. Go out side of city by your self. Nature and people will amaze you
I believe it! Personally I don't drive much, and definitely am not comfortable driving internationally, so I personally rely on these sorts of tours and locals. But you're right!
@@Get.Lost.Travel dont drive 👌👌👌. We are craaazy in road
Excuse me, St. Thomas one of disciples of Jesus came to Kerala in AD52 and that`s the beginning of Christian Community in India and he was murdered in Tamilnadu, India. Not the europeans started christianity in India.:) Please don`t spread lies
❤️🇮🇳
But the Europeans like the Dutch and Portuguese are the ones who spread christianity
Try coming again
This time to Kottayam Kerala
The only district in India with 0% poverty rate
I am not joking
It is full of NRIs

There are different types of Christians in Kerala. Major type of Christian, s in Kerala are Catholic( 3 type of Catholics -Syro Malabar, Malankara Catholic and Latin Catholic ),Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite, Christian,s, Anglican Church Christians and Protestant, s.Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite,(which uses west syriac in their prayer's )belongs to Oriental Orthadox Christian family which was not present in Europe until recent migration, s happened from middle east. The Syro malabar Catholic church uses east syriac litrurgy which is totally different from the latin litrurgy used by Catholics in western Europe.As per belief Christianity was started by St thomas in ad 52 in Kerala which was one of the trading hub at that time . Kerala has Jewish Presence's at that time itself.But we don't have a solid proof weather St Thomas came in Kerala or not. But between 3rd and 5 th century there are proof that christianity was established in india.These christians were under Church of the east centered in Iraq which uses east syriac litrurgy. The Importance's of this Syriac language is it is a dialect of Aramaya language which jesus Christ used to spoke. In Christianity there are mainly three type of Litrurgycal traditions are their 1)latin litrurgy 2)Greek litrurgy 3)Syriac litrurgy.The 3rd litrugical tradition is present now a day's in Kerala and some middle eastern counties only. Actually Porchughese brought Catholic church to Kerala in 15 th century . They try to impose latin litrurgy to Kerala Christian, s When a syrian orthadox bishop named ahntulla was killed by porchughese in chennai while he was comming to Kerala,which eventually ends in the split of church. rejected Catholic belief and joined Syrian Orthadox Church centered in syria.. To bring them back vatican itself takes initiative and made negotiations. At last Vatican tells that you can continue in Catholic church by following syriac traditions. Those who rejected joined Syriac orthadox church.Later British missionaries brought Anglican Christianity or Protestant Christianity to Kerala.. Kerala SyrianChristian, s have their own traditional dressing style(Chattayum Mundum), artform(Margamkali ), etc which are totaly keralite in culture.
Sheeeeessssshhhh! Well firstly, thank you for taking the time to type this out. I'm pretty sure I'm more confused now than I was before I read it, this history is ✨complex✨ but very interesting!
Also Roman Catholic and Penthacostalism in Kerala

Bro you missed the synagogue!
I know! I actually would have loved that to have had that experience as well
The authentic kerala cuisine is light and refreshing. That prawn curry is not so kerala authentic food. Kerala food will heal you.
I had some in my other video about the Kerala backwaters! It's great!
Ya i wouldn't recommend monsoon season 💀💀💀💀
😂 It sort of was how it had to fall into my schedule to be there during Monsoon, I know 😫 But I got lucky everywhere I went aside from Mumbai! Even in Kochi I had a lot of time without rain, thankfully
Kashi Art Cafe has shitty food and service! It is just the ambience...😂😂😂😂
😂 Hey, I mean I just went the one time so my perspective is limited, but I had a great experience!
Kerala ❤❤❤
🙏🏻🇮🇳
Good
🙏🏻 Thank you!
Christianity came to India by AD 52,much before it spread to many areas of northern Europe.

Modern Kochi is designed by British in 1923 their dreamegacity after Singapore.They created Willindon Island in Cochin harbourmouth which is assumed finest natural harbour in the world.In Cochin they built International seaport,Railways,Roadways,airport,Boatjetties etc. all multimodel trasportations modes within 1 km radials only place in the world that time,connected to London with passerngers and cargo!Enviaged a New Singapore like megacity in this little kerala.After.indipendence
Kerala lost a future megacity like Honkong or Shanghai due to negligence by Northindian leaders of Indipendent India,still this neglect continues .....blind new administrators of modern India!
and only loss of Kerala!😂😂
Wow there is so much interesting history in Kerala, thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏻
Negligence of north India? Bro you voted communist and they never allow industrial development. That's why Kerala have high unemployment and goes to other states and countries.
Bro do visit udaipur
I would like to, the pictures look beautiful!

I think you missed lot of places in kochi

Christianity is the major factor behind kerala's literacy in comparison with other states and its lower superstitious beleifs. Actually christianity played a major role in the socio economic development in kerala. with just 18 % of the christian population, the most educational institutions from colleges to play schools are christian management. Infact, kerala was a land of many demonic and barbaric beleifs ranging from oppressive caste system and sati (burning of women with their deceased husband) to untouchability. Christianity offered educational and healthcare to every human being irrespective of their religious and economic backgrounds and uplifted the society as a whole.
it's really interesting, thank you for this! I'm learning so much about the area
Bro please go to ellora cave in maharashtra. Ellora cave is most beautiful than taj Mahal bro
I will check it out!!
Saint Thomas Is The First Apostolic
St Thomas spread Christianity in south India
Christianity aint here because of the Europeans lol...Christianity in Europe and Kerala spread around the same time...same goes for islam... it's cuz Kerala was like the trading centre for many countries...(you can also gind the Roman coins here)
Christianity in Northeast of India was influenced by Kerala bishops too
@kiranjayakumar9357 Mainly by American pastors as catholic are still a minority in Northeast. Majority follow protestant.
0:38 You're doing great, brother, but you can't write Get Lost on the Indian flag. Please remove it.
It's not a real flag? It's pixels on a screen? in a video? I do it with every country in the world, it's not that serious
@@Get.Lost.Travellol some people be like that. He could even be joking idk
Christianity has existed in kerala in the form of thomas Christians. Orthodox syrian rite
Very interesting!
British destroyed a Christian church coz it was built by the Portuguese? That’s unpardonable
@Get.Lost.Travel.... bro please stop putting this song in every video about India !! It's fking depressing 😩😩
I use 8-12 different songs in every video, so I have no clue which one you're talking about, but regardless they're only ever present for around 30 seconds or so!
Boss u came here as American
I did! Is that a question? 😂
In creating jobs or starting a businessi its a failed state.
A middle aged mallu named Akshar? That is really strange.
That's his name, I don't know what to tell you 😂
I think its akzar or he must be from north India
Must have been Ashkar😂
@@Mister_OCD Yeah that makes sense 🤣
❤❤❤
