History

St. George Forane Church Edathua was constructed by a group of believers who severed ties with Champakulam diocese in 1810.[5] It is located on the bank of river Pumba, about 15 km south east of Alappuzha. It is believed that, because of the saint's miraculous power, many devotees flowed to Edathua pally, especially during the saint's feast conducted from April 27[6] to May 7 of every year. Devotees in great numbers across the southern parts of the country visit the church during this feast.[7][8] [9] The blessing received through the intercession of Saint George transformed Edathua into a permanent pilgrim center of South India.[citation needed]
