Christianity was brought to what is now the Indian state of Kerala by St. Thomas the Apostle in the year 52 AD, by way of the ancient port city of Cranganore. One custom of this Christian community is that, at break of day, family members sing this sweetly beautiful devotional morning song, a reminder of God's loving care for his people. Some believe this song dates back 1,000 years.
The language of this song is Malayalam, which is closely related to Tamil and is spoken by more than 36 million people, mainly in Kerala.
