    PATHANAMTHITTA: The faithful accorded a ceremonial reception to the
    Catholicos of the Armenian Orthodox Church, Aram I of the Holy See
    of Cilicia, during his visit to the ancient churches at Kallooppara,
    Niranom and Parumala on Sunday.

    Hundreds of believers thronged the St. Mary's Orthodox Church
    at Kallooppara to receive the Catholicos in the morning. Aram-I,
    accompanied by two other bishops from Armenia and the Metropolitan of
    Thiruvananthapuram diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church,
    Gabriel Mar Gregorios, was escorted to the church in a ceremonial
    procession to the accompaniment of Panchavadyam at 8.30 a.m.

    The Catholicos attended the holy Eucharist celebrated by Youhanon
    Mar Chrysostomos Metropolitan of the Niranom diocese. He blessed the
    congregation and addressed a meeting held at the church hall. The
    Catholicos offered prayers at the tomb of St. Gregorios at Parumala.
