St. George’s Forane Church Edappally 360° Virtual Tour — Kochi, Kerala

St. George's Forane Church, Edappally — locally known as Edappally Palli — is a Catholic pilgrimage church in Edappally, Kochi, Kerala, India. It is Asia's largest shrine to Saint George, drawing approximately five million visitors every year from across India and the world. The church is believed to have been founded in 593 AD, making it one of the oldest churches in Kerala — it is regarded as the oldest Christian church in Kochi, founded after the seven churches established by Saint Thomas the Apostle in the first century AD. Originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Marth Mariam), the church was later rededicated to Saint George, who remains its beloved patron. The church belongs to the Major Archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly (formerly the Archdiocese of Ernakulam) and is a central pilgrimage destination for Catholics across Kerala.
