Text Appearing Before Image:
the apostle landed at Malan-kara, or, more correctly, at Maliankara near Cranganur(Kodungallur), the Mouziris of the Greeks, or Muyirikodeof the Jewish copper plates. Mouziris was a port nearthe mouth of a branch of the Alwaye river, much fre-quented in their early voyages by the Phoenician andEuropean traders for the pepper and spices of this coast,and for the purpose of taking in fresh water and provi-sions. The story goes that Saint Thomas founded sevenchurches in different stations in Cochin and Travancore,and converted, among others, many Brahmans, notablythe Cally, Calliankara, Sankarapuri, and PakalomattamNambudri families, the members of the last claiming therare distinction of having been ordained as priests by theapostle himself. He then extended his labours to theCoromandel coast, where, after making many converts,he is said to have been pierced with a lance by someBrahmans, and to have been buried in the church of Rev. W. J. Richards. The Indian Christians of Saint Thomas.
Text Appearing After Image:
St. THOMAS CROSS, KOTTAVAM. 409 SYRIAN CHRISTIAN St. Thome, in Mylapore, a suburb of the town ofMadras. Writing concerning the prevalence of ele-phantiasis in Malabar, Captain Hamilton records * thatthe old Romish Legendaries impute the cause of thoseo-reat svvelld legs to a curse Saint Thomas laid upon hismurderers and their posterity, and that was the odiousmark they should be distinguished by. Pretty earlytradition associates Thomas with Parthia,t Philip withPhrygia, Andrew with Syria, and Bartholomew withIndia, but later traditions make the apostles divide thevarious countries between them by lot.J Even if theformer supposition be accepted, there is nothing veryimprobable in Saint Thomas having extended his workfrom Parthia to India. Others argue that, even if therebe any truth in the tradition of the arrival of SaintThomas in India, this comprised the countries in thenorth-west of India, or at most the India of Alexanderthe Great, and not the southern portion of the penin-sula, w

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
