St Thomas Mount Church is a significant religious sight that looms majestically on St. Thomas Mount. More popular as Perai Malai which means Big Mount in Tamil St. Thomas Mount is often visited by people of different religious faiths including Hindu, Muslim and Christians.
The St. Thomas Mount National Shrine at St Thomas Mount, known as “Parangimalai” in the vernacular, is celebrating its 500th anniversary. Built in 1523 by the Portuguese, it figures among the oldest churches in Chennai.
The hillock is associated with apostle St. Thomas as he is believed to have attained martyrdom on it. The church is said to have served as lighthouse for the Portuguese and Armenian ships and vessels in the Bay of Bengal in the 16th and 17th centuries. Without buildings of the kind existing now, there is reason to believe that these ships had an unobstructed view of the mount.
When sailors saw the Church they offered prayers for a safe voyage and then discharged from their artillery in salutation, says a note on the official website of the church stthomasmountnationalshrine.org.

Location :- St.Thomas Mount
St. Thomas Mount is a small hillock located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, near Guindy. The mount is known locally as Peria Malai (Big Mount—in Tamil language) or Parangi Malai. Legend maintains that St. Thomas, one of the Twelve apostles of Christ, traveled to India after the crucifixion of Jesus, bringing the gospel to the people of India. St. Thomas Mount is the legendary place where Thomas had been martyred, shot by his assailants with a bow and arrow. He is thought to have clutched a stone cross, bleeding on it during his death. That cross has been called the bleeding cross, as miracles of its bleeding have been reported.The Portuguese built the shrine of Mother Mary, a small relic-filled Church, in 1523 at the summit of the 300 foot high St. Thomas Mount. The bleeding cross has been built into the altar wall. An oil painting of the Madonna, reputed to have been painted by the apostle Luke and brought to India by Thomas, is hung in the shrine. The Little Mount on St. Thomas Mount is reputed to have been the hermitage of St. Thomas, a humble cave in the hillside. Legend states that Thomas had been in the cave when assailed, escaping to the hill where he met his death. Acknowledging the importance of the holy site to the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II visited the pilgrimage site on February 5, 1986, during his visit to India.According to legend, St. Thomas had been one of the first Christians to reach India and to preach Christianity.[1] He was believed to have reached South India in 52 C.E., spending the last years of his life in a cave on the hill. Tradition states that Thomas had been martyred in 72 C.E., shot by a bow and arrow. Over the centuries, the legend has been passed on, leading to the hill taking the name St. Thomas Mount.

It is a beautiful Roman Catholic minor basilica in the city of Chennai (Madras), India. It was built in the 16th century by Portuguese explorers, over the tomb of Saint Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. In 1893, it was rebuilt as a church with the status of a cathedral by the British. The British version still stands today. It was designed in Neo-Gothic style, favoured by British architects in the late 19th century. This church is one of the only three known churches in the world built over the tomb of an apostle of Jesus, the other two being St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Galicia, Spain.

When did Christianity come to India? | The story of St. Thomas | St. Thomas Basilica, Chennai
When did Christianity reach India? And did you ever wonder who brought it here first? The answers may surprise you. It is commonly believed that Christianity came to India with St. Thomas as early as 52 CE. He is said to have landed in Kerala and the religion took root there. He then walked across to Mylapore in present-day Chennai, spoke of a new God in a new land, and left his footprints on the sands of time.
There are many fascinating stories behind how the religion grew, spread and evolved into the many different denominations you see spread across India today. This short video takes you to the tomb of St. Thomas, at Santhome Basilica in Chennai. And it takes you through the story of the arrival of Christianity in India. Did you know that the Thomas Christians of Kerala are considered one among the oldest followers of Christianity in the world? Here’s the story of the beginnings of Christianity in India.

Tour and History of St. Thomas Mount Chennai II Parangimalai, Chennai city view point
Saint Thomas mount Chennai. Surprisingly, There is a beautiful hill or hill-lock within Chennai city.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys, This is Do Raahi Official ( @DoRaahi ), the official YouTube Channel managed by Priya & Prabhash. Please find more details below.
---------------------------------------------------------
We have been in Chennai for the past three years, and we are bored with beaches and other famous places in Chennai, so we started looking for something that is not so popular in Chennai. And guess what we discovered? It’s beautiful hills with a stunning top view and a church on top of it. We know it’s not surprising for people native to Chennai but definitely for those who recently shifted to Chennai and still enjoying the joyful beaches of Chennai. The Tamil name of this hill is Parangmalai which is close to the Chennai airport and Guindy and near IIT Madras Campus. This would be a weekend treat for students of IIT Madras, especially those who joined the institute in the near past. Since the 17th century, the locality of these hills has been populated mainly by Anglo-Indians; hence the hills were renamed Saint Thomas Mount and are commonly known by this name even now. In the past, Tamil sage, Bhringi stayed there for a while to complete his worship of lord Shiva. During his time, he travelled to a few other places in Chennai too. The place where he once left his Kindi is now known as Guindy. Kindi is a Tamil word which translates to a कमंडल in Hindi. The road leading to this hill is equally beautiful and mesmerising. On the way to the hills, you will find an Army Campus known as Officers Training Academy, where you would urge to stop for a while and appreciate the beauty of it. The hill area is populated by 4,75,995 people with 1,21,017 houses, according to the 2011 census report.
Do Raahi team suggests everyone go to this place in their free time to have quality time.
