History

Between 1324 and 1328 Friar Jordan who came to Travancore, visited all the places where St. Thomas the Apostle had formed Christian communities, including the South Pandian Kingdom. One evidence to prove his preaching Christianity in the Pandian kingdom is the building of a church in Kurumbur Azhagappapuram in honour of St. Vincent Ferrer (Visenthiyppar), a Dominican. In that church we can find a statue of St. Vincent Ferrer placed by Friar Jordan. At that time the Christians of Kanakkan Kudieruppu had migrated to the fertile land north of Maanaveeranaadu and south of Thamirabarani River. That is why Friar Jordan had to build the church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Kurumbur.
