St. Mary's Syrian Knanaya Church, Chennai

Knanaya Community

Knanaya Community is a very distinct, ethnic and religious group whose ancestry traces back to Abraham. Knanaya Christians, a hybrid people of Indian and Jewish descent, carved a unique niche for themselves in India. They developed a style of life that was borrowed from both their Jewish and Indian progenitors but jelled into something that was essentially their own . Knananites continue to be an endogamous community.
