Coonen Cross

[Dhanyavaada]

Can someone give me a hint: In which church exactly did the Coonen Cross Oath from 1653 take place in Mattancherry, Cochin? Can the church and the bent cross still be seen?

It is said that the event took place in front of what is now St. George Orthodox Church.

Thank you! Where is the church situated?

The actual cross is in Holy Cross Catholic Church, Mattancherry. St. George Orthodox Church is also located in Mattancherry.
