The original Holy Photo of Virgin Mary and Infant Jesus in this church can be seen only during September 7 th when it will be unvelied and this ceremony is known as Nada Thurakkal. Most of the ceremonies in churches set up by St. Thomas has similarities to that of Hindus. This is because many Hindus has been converted to Christhians and so such words and ceremonies still exists. Some examples are Thulabharam, Nadathurakkal, Thirumeni (priest).etc.This church was established based on the dream given to a person, asking them to create a chapel inside a jungle where they can spot a child and a cow. Thus Manarcad Church was set up in Kottayam.
