We climbed up the hill at Malayatoor on the Good Friday of 2017. More than a million of pilgrims climb up the hill as a sacrifice, some come alone, some come in groups and families, some carry a cross, some carry a cornerstone for their house. It is a moment of belongingness to Christ for the pilgrims who come to Malayatoor. Most of the pilgrims coming to Malayatoor are from Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The church and the hill come under the Malayatoor forest division. Location of the pilgrim center - https://goo.gl/maps/VHUYfPQVCXB2
