In 1989,there was an incident a Cross was found near Sabarimala.Many started claiming it as one of the 7.5 churches.This led to demand by the Christians stating that they wish to start a church reestablish the church there.A commotion ensued people being divided on religious faultlines.
Later as per web reports the Cross mysteriously disappeared.
Does anybody recount the incident and the whereabouts of the cross.
Somebody said the symbol of the cross came much later,so if St Thomas didnt use the cross to establish the church,with what proof can we say that it belongs to the 7.5 churches.
