Hi Religion Unplugged readers, Annually on July 3 since 2021, believers have celebrated Indian Christian Day around the world. The day celebrates Apostle Thomas, who is believed to have traveled to India to spread Christianity and was martyred in 72 CE. “One of the misunderstandings that people seem to have is that Christian faith came to India very recently,” said Rajiv Pathik, the Senior Pastor of Good Samaritan United Methodist Church in Cupertino. In today’s top story, contributor Mary Lee writes on the history of Christianity in India and how Indian Christians are recognizing its importance 2,000 years later. Discovering The Untold Story Of India’s Christian Roots In a country known for its spices, yoga, the Taj Mahal and Hinduism, a movement is taking place to show the world that Christianity came to India as early as the first century CE. Indian Christians believe their history and heritage can be traced back to Saint Thomas the Apostle. by Mary Lee Did you know that you can support Religion Unplugged for just $5?
