===May Devotions by 30 family groups===

May devotions flourished across the world in the later part of 19th century. Eastern Churches had very clourful celebrations. Soon families gathered and had identified them for thirty days of the month, and the 31st day was celebrated by the entire village or town. Records show that in 1922 the Churches of [[Maravankudieruppu]], the capital Church of Vaenaadu Catholics, and [[Kamanayakkanpatti]], the Capital Church of Paandiyaa Kingdom Catholics have started the May Devotion by 30 family groups. The practice was followed by many churches in the country and in 1950s almost all the Churches in Indian Union started celebrating May Devotions by 30 family groups.
