Christianity in the state of Tamil Nadu, India is the second largest religion in the state. According to tradition, St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, landed in Malabar Coast (modern day Kerala) in AD 52. In the colonial age many Portuguese, Dutch, British and Italian Christians came to Tamil Nadu. Priests accompanied them not only to minister the colonisers but also to spread the Christian faith among the non-Christians in Tamil Nadu. Currently, Christians are a minority community comprising 6% of the total population. Christians are mainly concentrated in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu - Kanyakumari (47.7% of the population, 2011), Thoothukudi (19%, 2011) and Tirunelveli (15%, 2011).

  • Il cristianesimo nello stato del Tamil Nadu in India vanta per essere antico di quasi 2000 anni. Si crede difatti che possa esser stato introdotto nell'anno 52 nel distretto di Kanyakumari da San Tommaso apostolo, uno dei discepoli di Gesù Cristo, giunto alla costa del Malabar (il moderno Kerala). Al giorno d'oggi i cristiani di San Tommaso sono il più antico gruppo cristiano presente nel Tamil Nadu. (it)
