Malayattoor is a village in the North Eastern corner of Ernakulam District in the state of Kerala in South India. The name `Malayattoor' is an amalgamation of three small words. Mala (Mountain) Arr (River) Oore (Place). This is to say, Malayattoor is a meeting place of mountain, river, and land.
Located 52 km from Kochi, the Malayatoor Church is situated atop the 609 m high Malayatoor Hill. The church is dedicated to St. Thomas, who is believed to have prayed at this shrine. One of the most important Christian pilgrim centres in Kerala, this holy shrine attracts devotees in very large numbers not only from Kerala but also from the neighbouring states. This famous church is situated at Kurisumudi, a verdant hill in the Western Ghats girdled partially by the Periyar (river). The Church has a life-size statue of St. Thomas and the imprint of the feet of the Apostle on a rock. This shrine has now been accorded an international pilgrimage station.
Malayattoor a meeting place of mountain and river shot into prominence when she was blessed by the missionary work of St. Thomas the apostle of Jesus Christ. He set foot at Kodungalloor, in AD 52 and founded the famous seven churches. On his way to Mylapore, he stopped at Malayattoor.

You made me crawl feeling so small
Creeping like shapes along the walls
Life fades to gray
Why must I pay
for giving my heart away
But whatever it may take
However my heart breaks
I'll keep singing in the rain
'till your back again
You left a hole deep in my soul
leaving my world so cold
But standing eye to eye
I still wonder why
we had to say goodbye
And whatever it may take
However my heart breakes
I'll keep singing in the rain
'till your back again
and whoever that changed your mind
whoever that makes you blind
I'll keep waiting here for you
All I ventured but nothing gained
I'm walking through the rain
Trying to keep a fading flame alive
Help!
Help me
Baby I'm lonely oh so lonely
Will I ever feel your love again
Am I really losing you my friend
Your absent talking your missing light
