Marthoma Mariam Big Church

The Marthoma Marian Big Church is located in Thrissur town. This Chaldean Syrian Church is age-old and is the head quarters of Chaldean Syrian Churches in India. Part of the Mass is still conducted in Syriac. There is no idol or pictorial representation of Christ or anyone else inside the Chapel.

The wood for the construction was given by Shakthan Thampuran, the then ruler of Kochi, when he cleared the forests in the Thrissur Round. The prayer hall has Chandeliers and coloured glass-balls hang from the ceiling. The ornate carving on wooden beams, pulpit and the choir gallery are rewarding.
