<\/p>\n

Patron\u2019s Day organised by Mar Gregorios Orthodox Syrian Church Dimapur came to an end with an annual day of spiritual organisation at Dimapur on Sunday afternoon.<\/span><\/div>\n
In his message at \u201cHoly Qurbana\u201d in the morning, Rev. Fr. PC Thomas briefed on the life and history of Mar Gregorios or Parumala and said he should be the role model for all Christian communities in India. <\/div>\n
He informed that Saint Mar Gregorios was the first canonized Christian saint from India and was ordained as Bishop at a young age of 29 in orthodox tradition. <\/div>\n
In his message, Fr. Thomas said Saint Mar Gregorios was a man of prayer and humble life and had dedicated his entire life for the development of the church and the people.<\/div>\n
Fr. Thomas also advised the followers to bear the cross, to wear the cross and to make the sign of the cross to reflect and represent Christ in their personal life. <\/div>\n
He also asked the followers to be submissive to God with \u201cfear of God\u201d and try to do the things that will please God. <\/div>\n
He also laid emphasis on love the God, as God desires that his people both fear and love him too. <\/div>\n
Describing that \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201clove\u201d are two sides of a same coin, Fr Thomas urged the followers to work for peace and love in the society. \u201cIf you can give peace to others, then you will be a channel of blessings and peace for many,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n
A procession was also taken out to mark the occasion, where more than 300 Keralites took part singing and praising gospel songs. <\/div>\n
It was followed by a children\u2019s programme and love feast. A prayer session was also organised on the occasion.<\/div>\n
The Patron\u2019s Day celebrations began with Rev. Fr Philip Kuruvila hoisting the flag and Holy Qurbana in the evening of November 1. <\/div>\n
A prayer of cross tower was also organised on November 13. An evening prayer session was also conducted in the evening of November 14 which was followed by a procession and benediction.<\/div>\n
More than 350 Malayali, Keralite and people from other religious faith coming from Dimapur, Kohima and Zunheboto took part in the programme.<\/div>\n
It may be mentioned here that MGM Church has been running MGM HS School, which was set up in 1985, having 1,100 students from nursery to class XII. The church is also planning to set up an MGM College of Teachers Education for profession courses. <\/div>\n
