Christianity — as an organised religion — is about 2,000 years old. It is believed to have originated in the firstcentury CE. The Thomas Christians, one of the oldest communities of the Christian faith, date back to that time.
Today, they thrive in Kerala, South-west India, and across the world. Named after the apostle St. Thomas, Thomas Christians (Malabar Christians) are indigenous Christians. The vibrant community is popularly known as the Nasrani Mappila.
