Pilgrims from all over the world reached Manjinikara by end of the day. Elias III is the only Patriarch of Antioch whose remains are interred in Malankara and his tomb stands as a towering symbol of the sacrifices made by the Syriac fathers to nurture the church in Malankara. On October 20, 1987, Patriarch Mor Zakka I through encyclical E265/87 permitted the Church in Malankara to remember his name in the fifth diptychhttp://sor.cua.edu/Personage/PElias3/index.htmlhttps://urhotheway.com/2021/01/31/ignatius-elias-iii/Lecture Series - Patriarch St. Ignatius Elias III and Mor Dionysius Geevarghese Vattasseril (courtesy Hymonutho): https://bit.ly/3jqFd8qHuthomo: https://youtu.be/b7LRJP1nu6c
