Thomas the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, according to the New Testament. He is informally referred to as Doubting Thomas because he doubted Jesus' resurrection when first told , followed later by his confession of faith, My Lord and my God, on seeing Jesus' wounded body. Traditionally, he is believed to have travelled outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel, travelling as far as Tamilakam which are the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in present-day India. According to tradition, Thomas reached Muziris, in AD 50 and baptized several people, founding what today are known as Saint Thomas Christians or Mar Thoma Nazranis. After his death, the reputed relics of Saint Thomas the Apostle were enshrined as far as Mesopotamia in the 3rd century, and later moved to various places.
