This church of ST.GEORGE is famous all over Kerala.Today people visit the church not only to pray but also to see the interior of the beautiful church.A very popular part of the church is its wayside CROSS(KURISHUMOODU) at the foot of the hill.There is a belief that a traveller will have no mishaps but will return home safe and sound if he stops to pray by the CROSS when passing by the Punalur-Moovattupuzha road.In the mornings , there is often a queue of vehicles waiting to make an offering in the KURISHUMOODU which is a NON STOP STREAM OF BLESSINGS Pilgrims to Sabrimala invariably stop to make an offering here.It is indeed a heart warming sight.
