<  Vallarpadam Church

It is also known as the National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Ransom. It is a famous pilgrimage irrespective of caste or religion and many of the believers comes there from many parts of the world to get the blessings of Mother Mary – The mother of Jesus popularly known as Vallarpadathamma.
Vallarpadam Church is located approximate 1 Kilometre from Ernakulam Mainland and connected by newly built Goshree Bridge. Bolgatty Island and the newly built Seaport is very near to the Church. The Church was built on 1524 by the Portuguese, led by Vasco Da Gama. In 1676 due to a heavy flood the olden church was destroyed which was known as the Church of Holy Spirit. Later the Prime Minister of Kochi- Paliyath Raman Valiyachan gave the land and built a new church.
It is been believed that in 1752 a Nair lady named Meenakshi Amma and her son was travelling by boat which was drowned and she promised that if they were saved, they will be the adimas (servants) to the church. On the third day the priest got a dream and as per his instruction the fishermen put nets where the priest showed and miraculously Meenakshi Amma and her son got saved. Later they were baptised and took the name Mary and Jesudas. They spent their remaining life in that church.
Because of these miracle, many devotees believe that praying in the church before taking long journeys especially by water.
