Church History |
|
The world famous Church at Palayur is almost as old
as Christianity. It was one of the seven churches
established by St Thomas, the Apostle of India, in
52 AD. The Christians who belonged to the original
Palayur church had been called “Palayur Nasranikal.”..... |

Dhooma Prayer |
|
When we scan the history of the parishes in
Kerala, we find a unique prayer at Chittattukara.
That is the dhooma prayer.
Very early in the morning on the Fridays in the
lent, people come to the church for it. A
procession with the rosary starts from the
church at 5.30. It returns to the church from
Kizhakkethala junction. The procession is
attended by a large number of people. Throughout
the procession incense is continuously being
burnt. Members of the old generation certify
that this practice was started in the forties
when the people got a sudden remission from
epidemics through the intervention of their
patron saint. Devotees take part in it even
today with keen interest and faith.
There are several special prayers conducted at
Chittattukara. There is the novena of the Mother
of Perpetual Help after mass on Saturday
mornings. The novena of St Antony is on
Tuesdays. There are special veneration prayers
to St Joseph in March and to the Virgin Mother
in May (Vanakkamasam). October is noted for the
rosary. On the lat ten days there will be rosary
with holy mass and benediction. All saints day s
observed in November. One day is reserved to
remember and pray for the departed and to visit
the cemetery. All these can be described as
celebrations of the spirit.
On Fridays during the lent, the procession of
the cross is arranged from various family units
which all unite in the church by 9 at night. On
Monte Thursdays there will be continuous
adoration and a common adoration in the evening.
The programmes of Good Friday are memorable. The
parishioners take part in the midnight masses on
Christmas, Easter, and on New Year day. Annual
retreat is arranged during the lent.
In addition to the programmes and practices
mentioned above, the parish takes up all the
activities recommended by the people and the
Church authorities ensuring that there is no
decline in spirituality. |
