Happy 76th Birthday to His Holiness

It is with immense pleasure we extent our sincere wishes to our Patriarch His Holiness Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, on HH's birthday.  Today is the 76th birthday of the Patriarch, who is the longest reigning Patriarch in the recently history of the Holy Syriac Orthodox Church.  His Holiness visited Malankara four times after being ordained as the Patriarch of Anthioc & All the East, by the then Catholicose of the East Aboon Mor Baselius Poulose II.  To read the biography of His Holiness, please click on the following link:

May God give his Holiness long life, good health and guidance of the Holy spirit to lead His church towards further glory.

His holiness can be called as the ' 21 - aam noottandile suriyani sabhayude shilpi'. His far-sightedness has made the Syrian orthodox church well established in different parts of the world with dioceses, young and energetic bishops, monks and monastries. This is the golden age of the syrian orthodox church and we are fortunate to be a part of this.
