DESCRIPTION:April 22nd is the anniversary of the demise of Mar Thoma I +16
 70.\n\nMar Thoma I was the first native-born Metropolitan of the Malankara
  Jacobite Syrian Church after the Koonan Kurishu Sathyam of 1653. Previous
 ly known as Arkadiyokan (Archdeacon) Thoma\, he along with Itty Thommen Ka
 thanar (Knanaya priest & leader) led the Malankara faithful in the revolt 
 against the Roman Catholic Church & Portuguese persecutors. This historic 
 event is known as the Koonan Kurishu Sathyam (Oath at the Leaning Cross). 
 It is the first recorded mass revolt against the Western colonialism & for
 ced Roman Catholic supremacy in history! The Koonan Kurishu Sathyam cement
 ed the reinvigorated faith of the Syriac Christians of Malankara & their u
 nflinching loyalty to the Patriarch of Antioch and All the East. This monu
 mentally historic event would pave way for the reestablishment of the Syri
 ac Orthodox hierarchy in Malankara as had been present since the dawn of C
 hristianity in India. \n\nMar Thoma I was given his full episcopal consecr
 ation by St. Gregorios Abdul Jaleel the honorary Patriarch of Jerusalem un
 der the authority of the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East. Mor Gregor
 ios came to Malankara on authority of the Patriarch of Antioch\, who recei
 ved letters from the Malankara Church. Those who accepted Mar Thoma I as t
 he rightful Metropolitan under the authority of the Holy Apostolic See of 
 Antioch are known as Malankara Jacobite Syrian Christians\, while those wh
 o rejected him continued to be under the yoke of Roman Catholic supremacy 
 (forming the Syro-Malabar Church). \n\nMar Thoma I along with Mor Gregorio
 s would lead the Malankara Church\, strengthening the faithful to remain l
 oyal to the Patriarch of Antioch even in the midst of persecution & coerci
 on by the Portuguese Roman Catholics. Mar Thoma I departed for the heavenl
 y abode on April 22nd 1670. His mortal remains were interred at the southe
 rn side of the 'Hykala' of St. Mary's Soonoro Jacobite Syrian Cathedral An
 gamali. \n\nBiography courtesy of Syriac Christianity website. Illustratio
