Christianity in India |

The Church of the East was the earliest form of Christianity in India, as adopted by the St Thomas Christians of the Malabar region (present-day Kerala) from at least the third century, and possibly much earlier.[a][2] This diversified into different churches over time. Later, from the 17th century, the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, and Protestant denominations were introduced, brought by European missionaries and colonisers.
