28 They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon. 1 King 9
Solomon's temple to the Lord drew on the wealth of Ophir, (which is derived from the Coptic for India). But the location of Ophir is not really known. The kingdom of Xerxes is a better reference. The start of Esther this is said to stretch as far as India (or Hodu).
There is nothing in the Bible that says St Thomas went to India. Stories of St Thomas however do appear to go back a long way. Here is a link to a discussion in Catholic Café.
Now India is thriving in all areas. The believers are amazing from ever quarter.
PRAYER: May wisdom and creativity bless the world through the people of India.
