St. Mary's Jacobite Syrian Cathedral in Manarcad, Kottayam, Kerala, is one of the oldest and most revered Christian pilgrimage centres in India, officially designated the Global Marian Pilgrim Centre. The ancient church — believed to have been established in the early centuries of Christianity in Kerala — is set on the scenic banks of Vembanad Lake and draws hundreds of thousands of devotees every year. The most celebrated event is the Manarcad Perunnal (St. Mary's Festival), held on the Wednesday following the Nativity of the Virgin Mary (8 September), when the miraculous icon of Our Lady of Manarcad is carried in a grand procession to the lake. Devotees travel from across India and the world for the festival, making it one of the largest Christian pilgrimages in Asia.
