St. Gervasis Prothasis church, Kothanalloor, Kottayam
St. Gervasis and Prothasis Church Kothanalloor is situated in a beautiful hamlet by the side of Kottayam-Ernakulam main roadside and is 7kms north of Ettumanoor and 7kms south of Kaduthuruthy.
Tradition has it that the church in its old form was built in 826 A.D. by the Persian missionaries at a place called Pallikkunnu and was christened after the holy mother Mary.
This church was built near an aristocratic royal Nair family who had close links to the Kavumpuram kings; a great feudal lord of those times. As time passed it so seemed that the vesper bells and other customary ceremonies of the church caused inconvenience to the Royal family.
