Introduction to the Vettukadu Perunal Festival in Kerala
People belonging to different religious faith coexist in peaceful
harmony in the state of Kerala. Consequently a large number of festivals
associated with different religions are celebrated in this state with
equal joy and delight. The Vettukadu Perunal Festival in Kerala is
the annual festival that is celebrated in the Madre De Teus Church
which is popularly known as the Vettukadu Church.
The Madre De Teus Church or the Vettukadu Church is located at a distance
of about 7 km from the capital of the state Thiruvananthapuram. The

When the festival of Vettukadu Perunal is celebrated, many ceremonies
are observed in the church. The performance of these religious rites
is an integral part of the festival.
The festival comes to an end in the last Saturday of the Christian

that is taken out on the preceding Saturday. In this magnificent procession,
the image of Lord Christ is taken out. A large number of people join
the procession and an even greater number is present there as spectators.
