St. Peter's and St. Paul's Orthodox Syrian Church is an Indian Orthodox church situated in Kolenchery, in Ernakulam, Kerala, India. It was established in the seventh century.[1]
St. Peter's and St. Paul's Church
St. Peter's and St. Paul's Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church
Due to the issues between the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, the church was non-functional for few years and functioned as shared church from 1995. In 2006 a Jacobite member of the Kolenchery Church filed a suit over the administration of the church. The case proceeded from the lower courts and reached the Supreme Court of India. On 3 July 2017 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, and the church has since been governed by the constitution of 1934.[2]
Tomb of Mar Thoma VIIedit
While visiting the parishes, the Mar Thoma VII died at Kandanad Church; his body was taken to St. George's Church, Kadamattom and on the way they entered to Kolenchery Church to pay homage. As Kolenchery Church[3] was also his quarters for some time, the parishioners demanded that the body be buried there. It was agreed and Mar Thoma VII was buried at Kolenchery church on 22nd Mithunam (5 July), 1809.[4]
