AnswerClick to flip back
A
Palayur
💡 Explanation:
St. Thomas the Apostle is traditionally believed to have established one of the first Christian churches in India at Palayur (in Thrissur district, Kerala) in 52 AD. Palayur is one of the seven churches traditionally attributed to St. Thomas's missionary work in Kerala. The other locations are incorrect - Thiruvananthapuram and Munnar don't claim this distinction, and Ernakulam has other historic churches.
