==History==
The main attraction of Cheppad is the Syrian Orthodox Christian Church popularly known as (Cheppad Church ). Cheppad is predominantly Hindu. The Christian community is the second largest religious community and many denominations of the Christian faith live there . There is no documented evidence to establish the arrival of Christian community to this place. However, there is evidence that one of the churches visited by Archbishop Menasis, in 1599 was Cheppad's St George Syrian Orthodox Church (Valiyapally).
In 1956 The Ethiopian Emperor, His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie visited this church. It is believed that the Ethiopian Kings held a blood line to King Solomon. Haile Selassie gifted the church a couple of gold artifacts, which were recently stolen from the church and have not been recovered. These included a gold crucifix from Ethiopia and a Bible with gold engraving in Amharic (a Semitic language spoken in North Central Ethiopia by the Amhara).
