History
The church was built in 1550 by the Knanaya Tharakan (minister) Kunchacko of the Kunnassery family. Due to an altercation between the Syrian Christians and the Kingdom of Vadakkumkur Kunchacko had gathered the Knanaya of Kaduthuruthy Church as well as all Syrian Christians he could find within Vadakkankur and moved them to Mulanthuruthy. Upon arrival Kunchacko had sanctioned the building of the Mulanthuruthy Church. Later the Knanaya were called back to their home church of Kaduthuruthy by the descendants of the King of Vadakkumkur, leaving Mulanthuruthy Church in the care of the Syrian Christians who remained there.[2][3]
Mulanthuruthy church was the venue of the Mulanthuruthy Synod held on the year 1876.[citation needed] A noteworthy feature of this church is a relic of Thomas the Apostle, which was brought from Mosul and given as a gift by the then Patriarch of Antioch,the head of the Syrian Orthodox Christians.[4] The church also contains tombs of Mor kurilos yuyakim from tur'abdin, mor ivanius hidayatulla,Mor Gregorius Yuhanan the Patriarch of Jerusalem and relics of Parumala Mar Gregorios and Ignatius Elias III who was the the Patriarch of Antioch, who was the head of the Syrian Orthodox church .
