During the 2004 renovation a little of the sand was taken from the tomb and the same is used for making the card.
The Back of the Card contains information about the visit of St.Thomas to India and His martyrdom.
This Card is designed to look like a Credit Card to enable people to carry it along with them either in their Credit Card holder or Wallet.
