| KeralaKottakavu Ferona Church
Kottakavu Ferona Church is a highly revered shrine located at Paravur, a small town in Ernakulam District of Kerala.
The history of the church dates back to the time of St Thomas. Legends have it that, a Namboothiri who was awestruck when St Thomas performed a miracle near his temple, converted his temple to this church and became a Christian himself. Even now one can see the remains of the old temple near the adjoining pool.
Paravur is a 25 minute drive from Cochin International Airport and 24 km from Kochi. Frequent buses are available from Kodungallur to Paravur.
