Pindi Perunnal in Irinjalakuda

St.Thomas Cathedral illuminated for the feast

The most prominent of Pindi Perunnal is celebrated in Irinjalakuda. Most of the Irinjalakuda people await the festival for at least two three months in advance. The main celebrations will start on Saturday morning. The start of the festival is heralded by drummings which go through the main roads of Irinjalakuda. This starts a lot of frenzied activities starting from preparing the right plantian in front of the house. Its a proud moment to find a right plantain decorated in front of the house for the house owner.

Drummings

Also there will be "Sacred Arrow" processes for each family unit, which starts from Saturday. The "Sacred Arrow" is to commemorate the arrows which pierced the body of Saint Sebastian. This is brought to each home to be venerated by the house members, to make offerings. This Sacred Arrow is escorted to the decorated chariots after sometime accompanied by lot of fireworks. These happens mainly on the days of Saturday and Monday.

            Pindi Perunnal is the local name used in Thrissur region of Kerala, India for the feast of Epiphany (Denha Thirunnal). Denha (Epiphany) is an ancient and important feast of the Saint Thomas Christians. Saint Thomas Christians, like other Eastern Christians, celebrate Denha as a great feast to commemorate the Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan. The liturgical season Denhakalam (Weeks of Epiphany) commemorates the second revelation at the Baptism and the following public life of Jesus. Denha is celebrated on January 6 by Syro-Malabarians in two ways - Pindiperunnal ("Plantain trunk feast") and Rakkuliperunal ("feast with a night bath").
