==History==

The migration of [[Saint Thomas Christians|Syrian Christian]] families from [[Travancore]], especially from [[Kothamangalam]], [[Perumbavoor]] and [[Muvattupuzha]] to India's [[Malabar region]] started in the early 1920s.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mateer|first1=Samuel|title="The Land of Charity:": A Descriptive Account of Travancore and Its People, with Especial Reference to Missionary Labour|date=1871|publisher=J. Snow and Company|url=https://archive.org/details/landcharityades00mategoog|quote=malabar.|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://wayanad.gov.in/|title=Wayanad District, Kerala Website}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Joseph|first1=Kumbattu Varkey|title=Migration and Economic Development of Kerala|date=1988|publisher=Mittal Publications|isbn=9788170990925|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U_5LaVpuge4C&q=malabar+migration|language=en}}</ref>

St. Thomas Church Malankarakunnu was one of the first churches of Syrian Christians but due to the lack of transport in rural areas, the people had no access to the church so new parishes were established, [[Meenangadi]] was a major trade hub of the Malabar region. The 20th century schism of the [[Malankara Church]]<ref>{{cite web|title=The 20th century schism in the Malankara Church|url=http://www.syriacchristianity.info/Articles/PoothicoteZach.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160423015843/http://www.syriacchristianity.info/Articles/PoothicoteZach.htm|url-status=usurped|archive-date=23 April 2016|website=syriacchristianity.info}}</ref> caused a feud between members of the church, leading to their isolation. In 1958, a [[caucus]] excluded some parishioners from holy sacraments and forced them to move to other parishes for their sacraments. This led to the establishment of the Meenangadi church. According to a local tradition, the parishioners fasted and prayed according to a bible verse they found; {{Bibleverse|2 Chronicles|7:12|KJV}}. Under the leadership of [[K.O Varghese]], a parishioner built a temporary prayer shed on high terrain on his land at Meenangadi town. E.A.E missionary Corepiscoppa Geevarghese Athunkal, the founder of [[Evangelistic Association Of The East]] (EAE) discussed the establishment of a church.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Evangelistic Association of the East, EAE, Perumbavoor, Kerala, India, Founder, forefathers, Very Rev.

[[Mor Yulios Elias Qoro]], third patriarchal delegate to Malankara, approved the order for a church from the guidance of patriarch [[Ignatius Jacob III]]. The new, independent church was built in the name of [[Mary, mother of Jesus|St. Mary]]. The fathers of the church renovated the building. The church was [[Consecration|consecrated]] and the foundation stone was laid on 1 February 1958.

==Relics==

=== Holy Soonoro (Holy Girdle of St.Mary) ===
[[File:Assumptiongirdle.jpg|thumb|Depiction of the Soonoro giving her Girdle to [[Thomas the Apostle]]. Below is a styllized representation of [[Mary's Tomb]], with flowers lying on the sarcophagus.]]

According to [[Oriental Orthodox Church]] tradition, the Virgin Mary died in the presence of all apostles except [[Thomas the Apostle]]. At the time of the assumption, Thomas was in India and he returned to [[Jerusalem]] and travelled on the sky by the help of [[Holy Spirit]] to attend the [[assumption of Mary]]. He arrived late and the saint visualised that Mary's body was taken by the Angels. At that time, St. Thomas could reach there. Thomas had doubtful nature; to persuade others, he asked Mary to give him a sign of her for her memory and remembrance. Then a chariot stopped in the air and Mary gave her girdle (soonoro) to Thomas. He showed this girdle to other disciples of Jesus and convinced them. He took the girdle on his journey. Many miracles have been reported after people have seen or touched this girdle. It was taken to [[Şanlıurfa]] and was then kept in a church in [[Homs]], Syria. The original girdle is a relic belonging to [[Saint Mary Church of the Holy Belt]].<ref name="Darke2014">{{cite book|author=Diana Darke|title=My House in Damascus: An Inside View of the Syrian Revolution|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mVcrDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT84|date=15 August 2014|publisher=Haus Publishing|isbn=978-1-908323-65-1|pages=84–}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Observations on Palaestine Or the Holy Land, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, and Candia: 2,1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=52ZUAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA18|year=1745|publisher=Bowyer|pages=18–}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mgocsmdiaspora.org/blog/holy-soonoro-holy-gridle-of-our-mother-discovery/|title="Holy Soonoro (Holy Girdle) of our Mother" (Discovery)|date=14 August 2014}}</ref>

Saint Thomas kept the holy belt with him. After he died as a martyr in [[Mylapore]], his and relics have been kept in India. In 394 AD, the holy girdle moved from India to [[Şanlıurfa]] on 22 August 705.<ref>The Orien Biblio of Assimaany | Volume I | page 399</ref> and established in Saint Mary Church of the Holy Belt. This church is also known as the Church of Holy Girdle or The Church of the Lady of the Girdle. Some manuscripts and a [[Garshunian]] book containing stories and speeches were sent by the people of Homs in 1852. The [[Archbishop of Homs]] ordered the renovation of the church. On 20 July 1953 A.D, The Holy Girdle was discovered at the Altar of the church by Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem I Barsoum in the presence of Alexandros, the Greek Orthodox bishop of Homs, Syria. This girdle is considered to be one of the most important relic in [[Syriac Orthodox Church]].<ref>Excerpts from a Patriarchal statement on the Girdle of Our Lady the Virgin Mary in the Church of Homs | Syria records how the belt was discovered.
