DESCRIPTION:January 18th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of Mor Diony
 sius Mikhayel +1956 the former Syriac Orthodox (Malankara Jacobite) Metrop
 olitan of Kottayam and Southern dioceses. \n\nMikhayel was born in Alummoo
 til family to Evangelist John & Achamma\, in Kayankulam\; where he did his
  primary education\, followed by higher studies at MD Seminary High School
  Kottayam. He was ordained Quroyo by Mor Dionysius V (Pulikkottil Joseph I
 I)\, Aphudykano by St. Gregorios Geevarghese Chathuruthil of Parumala\, & 
 shamshono by Mor Dionysius V at Kayankulam Qadisha Church. On August 30th 
 1908\, he was ordained Qashisho at Parumala seminary\, the chief celebrant
  was Mor Dionysius Geevarghese Vattasseril\, along with Mor Dionysius V\, 
 St. Osthatheos Sleebo Abakar the delegate of the Apostolic See of Antioch\
 , & St. Coorilos Paulose Kochuparambil. \n\nFr. Mikhayel rendered his serv
 ices at M.D. Seminary. He was also an instrumental part of the efforts und
 ertaken by Syriac Youth Association & Malankara Mission Society. When the 
 unfortunate schism erupted in the Malankara Church\, he left MD Seminary &
  returned to Kayankulam where he was active in public service\; working as
  municipal councilor & representing Kayamkulam in Sree Moolam Praja Sabha.
 \n\nFr. Mikhayel was selected as the candidate of Metropolitan Consecratio
 n for the dioceses of Kollam\, Niranam\, Thumpamon. He along with Fr. Otta
 thaikkal Thomas who was selected for the Knanaya diocese\, accompanied Mor
  Yulios Elias Qoro (Delegate of the Apostolic See of Antioch) to Jerusalem
 . The two priests were ordained Rabans on October 20th 1926. Then on Octob
 er 27th 1926\, they were consecrated Metropolitan with the titles Dionysiu
 s & Dioscorus by St. Ignatius Elias III Patriarch in the presence of Mor Y
 ulios Elias\, Mor Geevarghese Gabriel of Jerusalem & several clergy. The t
 wo newly ordained bishops remained in Jerusalem for 50 days\, visiting sit
 es in the Holy Land. They returned to Kerala & would visit St. Osthatheos 
 Sleebo at Vadakara St. John's Church the next day. When St. Ignatius Elias
  III Patriarch visited Malankara\, Mor Dionysius Mikhayel was his personal
  assistant & interpreter\, remaining so until the demise of the Patriarch 
 in 1932.\n\nMor Dionysius provided strong leadership\, inspiring the belie
 vers to remain steadfastly loyal to the Holy Throne of Antioch. His encour
 aging speeches lit up the hearts of the faithful who were distraught at th
 e hands of the schismatics. Mor Dionysius would visit churches across his 
 dioceses\, by ox-cart & even travelling by foot to meet the needs of his c
 hildren. He was unrelenting in making sure that the faithful remained cour
 ageous against the adversaries. Mor Dioscorus Thomas would shift allegianc
 es & move to the Roman Catholic fold\, which saddened Mor Dionysius. \n\nM
 or Dionysius Mikhayel led a very simple life\, giving away much of his pos
 sessions to the poor & needy. His only possession were a torn mattress\, r
 agged clothes\; his usual meal was water with rice gruel & vegetables. He 
 wanted to gain nothing by showing loyalty to the throne of the Holy See of
  Antioch\, but only unflinching faith. He addressed everyone by name which
  endeared him to the parishioners. He never hesitated to admonish those wh
 o behaved defiantly in the altar. He kept Mor Sharbil Dayro Thrikkothamang
 alam as his administrative headquarters. On 15th December 1955 during the 
 feast of his teacher St. Coorilos Paulose at St. Mary's JSC Panampady\, he
  spoke rousingly to strengthen the faithful. After his meal he told those 
 around him that he will die soon\, asking that his faithful be near him. T
 he service of Qandilo was conducted the next day. His condition gradually 
 deteriorated & on January 18th 1956\, Mor Dionysius Mikhayel reposed in th
 e Lord. His last rites were led by Mor Philoxinos Paulose (later the late 
 Catholicose HB Mor Baselius Paulose II) & Mor Yulios Elias Qoro. He was en
 tombed in St. Mary's JSC Panampady Kottayam.\n\nMor Dionysius Mikhayel was
  affectionately known as the Roaring Lion of Malankara\, & was a pillar of
  strength for the faithful\; for he courageously defended the Malankara Ch
 urch from all adversaries & inspired the children to remain steadfastly lo
 yal to the Holy Apostolic See of Antioch. May his legacy be forever eterna
