Syrian Christians are perhaps the oldest Indian Christians as their origin dates back to 52 A.D. when St. Thomas, a disciple of Christ, came to Kerala and established Christianity. The arrival of Syrian Christians of different denominations from Kerala to Hyderabad in the 1930 and 1940s and their struggle to establish their own places of worship are described. The difficulties undergone by them in the process and their sacrifices for the sake of religious worship is described. Besides, their traditional worship and religious practices are also described. Their traditions and customs are well highlighted.
