Johannes Facundus Raulin in the 1740s in his book 'Historia Ecclesia Malabaricae' uses the term Muttieri.
[1] The Christians to this territory were brought by the dependants of the then land lord Myal Pazhur Naboothiripadu and Mamalassery Kaimal.
These local rulers helped the Christian congregation to build a new church in that area.
[3] The ancient cross with a granite base standing in Kurisummoodu is adorned with beautiful carvings.
The main church was with traditional arch shaped madbaha with a cross and a sacrificial table .
It is said that 'the Pontifical Raza of Bishop Mar Parambil Chandy after his ecclesiastical appointment was offered at Muttuchira church'.
An ancient Saint Thomas Christian cross was discovered inside the madbaha wall, when the old church at Muttuchira was demolished.
The houses of worship at Maylappur, Kadamattam, Angamali and Kottayam Valiyapally also have such Persian crosses.
This St Thomas cross is set near the entryway inside the new Valiyapally (great church) now.
The present Valiapally (great church) and the presbytery were built amid the reign of Rev.
The engravings are on a rectangular stone piece in two areas partitioned by a vertical line in the middle.
This rock chunk was found on the western mass of the ground floor room of the two story building joined toward the northern side of the old Church of the Holy Ghost.
