Thankey Church is an important church in Kerala, famous for miraculous statue of the Passion of Our Lord. The statue depicts Jesus in all his sufferings. His flowing hair, blood drying on his brows, pierced palms, feet and the side, the crown of thorns, all challenging a world of material glory. The arrival of pilgrims to the Thankey Church normally begins on Palm Sunday and peak on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Church is often called as our Lady of Purification Church which has made this place of great faith and pilgrimage importance.

The statue was brought here as a measure of reconciliation of the differences among the parishioners at a time when inequalities in the society were at its extreme.

Fr. George Karott, the then parish priest decided that only a miracle could bring the people so fiercely divided over several social issues.

He hit upon the idea of bringing a life-size statue of Our Lord that would drive home the message of sacrifice.

However, it was the worst of times. Father Karott surveyed only extreme poverty among his parishioners. The circumstances compounded by a famine-like situation.

But the women of the parish proved resourceful. They squirreled away fistfuls of rice from their daily rations until they could sell it in the market to raise the money for the statue.

Since then, the 'Pidiyari (meaning fistfuls of rice) movement' has gone down in the Parish history as a remarkable achievement.

Several miracles were reported at the arrival of the statue in Thankey. And, the miracles continue to this day drawing people in their thousands to Thankey, especially in the run up to the Holy Week and on Good Friday.

Kissing the statue of Our Lord in Thankey is considered a sure means to get answers to one's prayers and to fulfilling one's good intentions.

Pilgrims also make votive offerings of rice and oil at Church on Good Fridays. The rice thus offered is cooked and distributed to the pilgrims. Eating the gruel at the Church on Good Friday is considered a cure for diseases and an assurance of well-being. The oil is taken away by pilgrims as a holy reminder of their visit to Thankey and as a cure.
