Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, Kochi, Kerala, India was built by Portuguese in the early 1500s after getting permission from King of Cochin to build a new Church in 1505. This Church was elevated to a Cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558. The Dutch who arrived in Cochin after the Portuguese were trying to demolish Catholic Churches in Kerala, and spared Santa Cruz cathedral. However, the British who had acquired new territories in Kerala in 1795 , demolished the original structure of this Church. Bishop D. Joa Gomas Ferreira spearheaded to reconstruct the Church and a new building was commissioned in 1887 and the Cathedral was consecrated in 1905. Pope John Paul proclaimed it as a Basilica in 1984. The Santa Cruz Basilica is 500 years old and it is a historical edifice in Kochi, Kerala and it survived the onslaught of European colonial powers vying with each other to establish their supremacy. |
