St. Joseph's Metropolitan Cathedral, also known as Palayam Palli, is the Roman Catholic Latin Rite cathedral of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum. The first church was built here in 1873. The church was intended in the manner of a cross in 1912. The final stage of extension, including the Gothic style facade and the bell-tower was completed in 1927. The three bells were brought from Belgium and were named Joseph, Xavier, and Aloysius in honour of, respectively, St. Joseph, the patron of the church; St. Francis Xavier, the apostle of India; and Bishop Aloysius Maria Benziger, the pioneer missionary-bishop of Quilon. Upon the bifurcation of the Diocese of Quilon, the new Diocese of Trivandrum was formed on 1 July 1937, and St. Joseph's Church became the cathedral of the newly formed diocese. When the diocese was raised to a metropolitan archdiocese in 2004, the cathedral became a metropolitan cathedral. The cathedral has a statue of its patron St. Joseph with the Child Jesus in the middle of the facade and a statue of Jesus with hands raised atop the tower. The church which is white in colour was painted red from 1927 to 2010. It was renovated during the period 2008 to 2010.[2]

In 1086, the Domesday Book listed eight churches and a Minster (not the current building).

Anatomy of the equine tongue Horse sticking out its tongue The horse tongue, like that of most mammals, is pink in color and plays an important role in taste perception. With its long, narrow shape typical of herbivorous animals, it enables the horse to grasp its vegetable food, with the help of its lips and teeth. This tongue is sensitive to pressure and temperature, and is involved in licking and chewing. Although the mare licks its foal for a long time immediately after birth, there is lit...
