Traditions of St. Thomas Christians – A. M. Mundadan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This book is written in two parts. In part 1 it describes about the Tomb of Mylapore and the traditions connected with it with a short review of\u00a0 different opinions about the Apostolate of St. Thomas in India without entering into a critical evaluation of the arguments given for or against it. Of the greatest importance are the Portuguese\u00a0 reports about the discovery of the tomb in 1517, about its opening by order of the Portuguese King in 1522 and about the local traditions concerning the apostle and his tomb for which Christian and non Christian witnesses were called in 1533.\u00a0 In Part II, other traditions of the Christians of St. Thomas is explained in detail. Here, the Portuguese and Indian sources are examined for the chief event in the history of the Christians of St. Thomas. The author describes the social and socio ecclesiastical life of the Christians of St. Thomas their cult and liturgical life and their attitude towards the Latin rite and the Portuguese efforts of the Latinization.<\/p>\n
