History

Tomb of K. M. George, founder of Kerala Congress, at Holy Magi Syro-Malabar Church, Muvattupuzha.

In the first quarter of 19th century after circuit to the northern region the king's administrators were returning to south in ‘Manchal’ accompanied by the pedestrian forces. When they reached Muvattupuzha it was getting dark. They had to reach Koothattukulam, the nearby inn for their stay. The team was upset for want of adequate lamps. Geevarghese Kathanar of Arakuzha Pittapillil family helped them by arranging torches made of dry coconut leaves. As an expression of gratitude for this, the ‘Adhikari’ recommended Achan to the king. Achan was invited to the palace and honoured with a ‘vadi and pidi’ (stick with a grip). Considering of goodwill of Kathanar, the king allotted some land for the construction of a church. On 27 July 1820, the ancient form of the present church, a small chapel, came into existence. With timely repairs, renewals and renovations the church attained its present growth. Apart from the native Christians who mainly hail from Arakuzha and Mylakompu Foranes, who are the majority of the church laity. Syrian Christian Achayans from Palai, Mannathoor, Veliyannoor, Nediyasala and other places migrated to this land and a powerful Syrian Catholic community made its roots there.[citation needed]
