In this powerful and eye-opening message, we explore the historic moment of the Mavelikara Padiyola—a turning point that shaped the identity of the Malankara Church forever.


This is not just history. This is a story of spiritual battle, courage, and unwavering faith.


Discover how:

• The ancient Church of St. Thomas faced near destruction

• Colonial powers and missionaries challenged sacred traditions

• Our forefathers stood firm to defend Apostolic truth

• The Mavelikara Padiyola became a declaration of faith and identity


What would have happened if they had compromised?


Would the Holy Qurbana still be the same?

Would we still honor the saints?

Would the Apostolic faith have survived?


This message will challenge you to reflect on your own faith today.


👉 Watch till the end and rediscover the courage of our fathers.


📖 “Stand firm and hold to the traditions…” (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
