All most 2 lacks people from different parts of Kerala participated in the function. People flocked into the Baselius College (An Arts and Scienece owned by the Orthodox Church) Ground (Kottyam- Kerala State-India) under the banner of each diocese.
His Holiness Moron Mar Baselius Marthoma Dydinmos I Catholiocse of the Apostolic Throne of St Thomas and Malankara Metropolitan- Supreme Head of the the Orthodox Church of the East inaugurated the function. His Beatitude Paulose Mar Militheos- Catholiocse Designate, His Grace Metropolitans, Dr George Joseph- Church Secretary, Reverend Fathers, and other leaders spoke in the function. Each and everyone demanded peace and justice form the Kerala Government, i.e. to implement the decisions of the honorable Supreme Court of India which has been in favor of the Malankara Orthodox Church and to stop blindly helping Jacobite Syrian Church which is a unit of the Syrian orthodox Church in India as well as a break away group from the Malankara Orthodox Church. An Oath was by the people instilling their support and faith towards the holy Orthodox Church and Catholicate of the East.
The function and procession was indeed a mega one and it has conveyed strong message to the Kerala Government as well as the Jacobite Syrian Leadership that the Malnkara Orthodox Church is not a puppet of anybody and will never ever submit her under any foreign leadership and it will always stand for peace and justice.
