DESCRIPTION:March 19th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Osthath
 eos Sleebo Abakar +1930 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac
  Orthodox Church. He was the Patriarchal Delegate of the Holy Apostolic Se
 e of Antioch to Malankara from 1908 till he reposed. \n\nSleebo was born o
 n January 1st 1854\, in the village of 'Kfarzo' near Amid in south-east Tu
 rkey. He belonged to the 'Abaker' family\, his father was Salbi & mother N
 abuna. When he was only 3 years old his father passed away. A few years la
 ter his two brothers & two sisters also died of a deadly disease. Only Sal
 iba\, his mother & one sister survived the epidemic. \n\nIn 1880 he was or
 dained Quroyo by late Mor Athanasius Shemavun\, he accompanied Mor Athanas
 ius the then Delegate of the Apostolic See of Antioch to Malankara in Janu
 ary of 1881. Mor Athanasius was sent by Patriarch Ignatius Peter IV at the
  request of the faithful in India who were facing the creeping influence o
 f the Protestant reformation movement sponsored by the British CMS. At the
  time\, Old Seminary & Cheriyapally Kottayam were controlled by the Protes
 tants\, so Mor Athanasius Shemavun established Puthenpally for the Jacobit
 e faithful. Sadly\, in June of the same year Mor Athanasius passed away\, 
 & was entombed in Puthenpally. This was heartbreaking for Sleebo who felt 
 alone in a foreign land. However\, he was strengthened by his faith in the
  Lord. Sleebo formed a close fraternity with St. Gregorios Geevarghese Cha
 thuruthil. He accompanied St. Gregorios on his trip to the Holy Land\, pro
 viding great assistance during the pilgrimage. When Mor Gregorios reposed 
 in the Lord\, it was another saddening moment in Sleebo's life. Dn. Sleebo
  spent 25 years in Malankara\, preaching & ministering to the Syriac Ortho
 dox faithful. The famous Manalpuram Convention (which started few years be
 fore Maramon) was one of the venues of his eloquent speeches. \n\nHe then 
 returned to the Middle East in 1906 accompanied by Dn. Mathai (later Catho
 licos Augen I). The two would be in Dayro d-Mor Mattai Nineveh for some ti
 me. Sleebo was ordained Raban followed by Qashisho. In March 1908\, the th
 rice blessed late Patriarch HH Moran Mor Ignatius Abde d-Aloho II Sattuf o
 f blessed memory consecrated Qashisho Sleebo as Metropolitan with the titl
 e Osthatheos at the church of the 40 Martyrs in Mosul. Mor Osthatheos Slee
 bo was appointed the new delegate of the Apostolic See of Antioch to Malan
 kara. In the same year\, Mor Ignatius Abde d-Aloho II consecrated St. Coor
 ilos Paulose Kochuparambil & Mor Dionysius Geevarghese Vattasseril. The 3 
 Metropolitans accompanied by Raban Augen returned to Malankara. Not long a
 fter a major schism started in Malankara. Following the autocratic style o
 f functioning & his disobedience of Church laws\, Vattasseril Mor Dionysiu
 s the Malankara Metropolitan was excommunicated (the excommunication would
  be later lifted by St. Ignatius Elias III Patriarch). Mor Osthatheos was 
 instrumental in strengthening the faithful to remain steadfast in allegian
 ce to the Holy Throne of Antioch. \n\nIn Kunamkulam\, St. Mary's Valiyapal
 ly was the centre of dispute between the faithful Jacobites & the schismat
 ics who sadly strengthened their grip. At the behest of Mor Osthatheos\, t
 he faithful donated land in deed to the Patriarch to establish a new churc
 h. The foundation stone of Arthat St. Mary's Simhasana Church was laid by 
 St. Osthatheos Sleebo on October 9th 1920. Mor Osthatheos also established
  St. Mary's Church Vaduvacode. The Holy Relics of St. Qawmo were enshrined
  in these churches\, bringing blessings to the believers. \n\nEven in the 
 midst of hardships\, Mor Osthatheos remained devoted to prayer & fasting\,
  his saintliness being observed by all whom he encountered. His books orig
 inally written in Syriac were translated into Malayalam. After serving the
  Holy Church for decades\, Mor Osthatheos Sleebo Abakar reposed in the Lor
 d on March 19th 1930 & his mortal remains were interred at St. Mary's Simh
 asana Church Arthat\, Kunamkulam. \n\nIn April 2000 vis Patriarchal Aposto
 lic Bull No. E 71/00\, the thrice blessed late Patriarch HH Moran Mor Igna
 tius Zakka I Iwas of blessed memory declared Mor Osthatheos Sleebo as a sa
 int. In September 2008 Mor Ignatius Zakka granted permission to recite the
  name of St. Osthatheos Sleebo in the 5th Dypthic (Thubden d-Qadishe) of t
 he Holy Qurbono.\n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates
