Welcome to St.John's Jacobite Syrian Church, Kumarakom

St. John the Baptist church at Kumarakom, popularly known as Attamangalam pally, is one of the prominent parishes of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church. The church was established in the year 1853 (M.E. 1028) and consecrated by Metropolitan Mathews Mor Athanasius of Malankara on the day of the feast of St. John the Baptist. About a century after its founding, the old church building was demolished and a new one was constructed in its place.  Read More>>

          The inner essence of being a Christian is eternal life .Both the Episcopal and liturgical heritage of the church affirms the fact that generations elevated from the material world to the realam of salvation

The Jacobite syrian orthodox church keeps vigil to follow the apostolic tradition and Episcopal purity.

 

The church is proud  of the succession from St. Peter, the Apostle to the present patriarch of antioch. Intercession to St Mary and all saints is a feature that still exists and observed in the church.

 

     St John's Attamangalam Jacobite syrian church,Kumarakom is apt to the sayings of our lord "My house shall be called a house of prayers".Thousands from different walks of life visit this church to offer their prayers. This parish follows the foot prints  of the Apostolic faith which affirmed by us in the Holy Synods viz Nicea, constantinople and Ephesus.

 

The responsibility that we should hold as St.luke says "Let your loins be girded and your lamps burnings", is to wait for our lord to come,to guard duty to our faith for the posterity.

 

May God bestow us His blessings by the prayers of St Mary, the mother of God, St.John the baptist,the patron saint of our parish and St. Thomas ,the Apostle to India.

Amen

                   The best  definition  of spirituality in my terms    is, spirituality = contemplation + action + transformation.

         The Syrian orthodox theological positions undoubtedly proclaims that this is the right spirituality ,that its followers should adhered to. The venerated saints of the church (especially st. John the Baptist , the patron saint of this church) are also respected on the  basis of their ardent adherence to this right spirituality.

        The modern world is hijacked by "mere spirituality " which practices contemplation and some sort of action for the name sake. The church and its people should realize this truth and hold our hands together to spread the gospel  of right spiritually, which we have received from our Lord and God Jesus Christ. Let us pray God almighty to bless the world with right spirituality, which is the right solution to the problems of the modern World.
