Cristianesimo in Tamil Nadu Christianity in Tamil Nadu
rdfs:comment
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. 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).

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). The Roman Catholic Church, the Church of South India, the Pentecostals, The Salvation Army Church, the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Evangelical Church of India, the Apostolics, and other evangelical denominations constitute the Christian population in Tamil Nadu. The Latin Rite of Roman Catholic Church has 15 dioceses including the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madras and Mylapore and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madurai, and has a homogeneous presence throughout the state. The second-largest church by the number of members is the Church of South India with 8 dioceses in Tamil Nadu. They are Coimbatore Diocese, Kanyakumari Diocese, Madras Diocese, Madurai-Ramnad Diocese, Thoothukudi – Nazareth Diocese, Tirunelveli Diocese, Trichy-Tanjore Diocese and the Vellore Diocese. Church of South India Synod, the highest administrative body of the Church of South India, is in Chennai. The vast majority of Christians in Tamil Nadu are either members of the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Church or the Church of South India. The Pentecostal Mission (TPM) is headquartered in Chennai. 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. Più tardi, in epoca coloniale, un gran numero di portoghesi, olandesi, inglesi e italiani sono giunti in questi territori; i sacerdoti che li accompagnavano non servivano solo per i colonizzatori, ma anche a diffondere la fede cristiana tra i milioni di indiani indù. Attualmente i cristiani sono una minoranza comprendente il 6% della popolazione totale, concentrati principalmente nei distretti meridionali dello stato - Kanyakumari (48,7% della popolazione, 2001), Thoothukudi (17%, 2001 ) e Tirunelveli (11%, 2001). I Cristiani di San Tommaso, alcuni dei quali si trovano a Kanyakumari, ritengono d'essere la più antica comunità cristiana sorta in India meridionale, risalente a quasi - come da tradizione - 2000 anni fa. La religione è stata introdotta secondo la leggenda nel 52 d.C. nel moderno distretto di Kanyakumari da San Tommaso, uno dei 12 discepoli di Gesù Cristo, che sbarcò nella costa del Malabar (il moderno Kerala) a metà del I secolo. La regione commerciava con greci, ebrei e persiani, fino all'apogeo avvenuto nell'XI secolo. Oggi questa antica comunità è presente soprattutto nel Kerala, ma se ne trovano anche in Tamil Nadu. In seguito l'età coloniale ha portato un gran numero di portoghesi, olandesi, italiani e britannici in queste zone. I sacerdoti li accompagnato non solo per servire i colonizzatori, ma anche per diffondere la fede cristiana tra i milioni di pagani indù del Tamil Nadu, la maggioranza dei quali apparteneva alla comunità dei Nadar ed alcuni di loro erano brahmani.
