H.G. Dr. Mathews Mor Anthimos of the Muvattupuzha Dioceses led the holy ceremony in the presence of many priests, deacons and nuns. Hundreds irrespective of caste,Creed and colour were anxiously waiting inside and outside the church to have an eye on the holy soonoro with special intercessory prayers and supplications.
