	''Chembuduppu'' (meaning picking of copper vessel) is a special [[ritual]] that has a place in [[Kerala]]’s cultural history. When the old church was built two centuries ago, local [[Hindu]]s brought rice from different places to feed hundreds of voluntary labourers. They cooked this rice on the bank of the stream and ceremoniously served it to the volunteers. It is in memory of this event that the "Chempeduppu" is celebrated every year. The main offering is rice cooked in a copper pot, which is taken to Kuthirappura by all the pilgrims from different places and the different religions who had gathered there for the celebrations. Later this cooked rice will be taken to their homes by the pilgrims.		''Chembuduppu'' (meaning picking of copper vessel) is a special [[ritual]] that has a place in [[Kerala]]’s cultural history.

	This cross cut from stone, which has carvings of saints and angels, is a main attraction and shelter for the pilgrims visiting the church. It is said that whoever prays here, is immediately rewarded. Heartfelt prayers of the pilgrims are heard and showered with blessings. Some even have a vision of Sahada. Those who prayed by lighting candles on certain Fridays near the Kalkurishu were granted their petitions, without delay. The cross was constructed on the same day in which the Lord's cross was found (14 September). Every year the feast is celebrated on this day. ’Vellappachoru’, which is cooked with [[rice]] and [[coconut]], is given as the offering. The pilgrims going to [[Sabarimala]] Aiyyappa Temple visiting here is a sight and model for secularism and religious harmony. Many pilgrims shelter here. This cross was carved out from a single stone, hence only it was known as {{not a typo\|kalkurish}} (stone cross). This church is also known as chandanapally valiyapally which is world-famous.
