NEW YORK, NY | September 26, 2025
On Friday, September 26, 2025 Seminarians from the Northeast American Diocese and the Diocese of Southwest America visited His Holiness Moran Mor Baselios Marthoma Mathews III at the Northeast American Diocese Chancery (Aramana). His Holiness offered a class for the seminarians. This was received with great joy, as His Holiness continues to be known as the great Christology professor at the Orthodox Theological Seminary in Kottayam Kerala India. Afterwards His Holiness, along with His Grace Metropolitan Zachariah Mar Nicholovos and the seminarians prayed Vespers & Compline at the Northeast American Diocesan Chapel. His Holiness and His Grace along with the seminarians enjoyed a meal together. Afterwards the seminarians offered gifts of icons to His Holiness Baselios Marthoma Mathews III and His Grace Metropolitan Zachariah Mar Nicholovos.
