BIRTH AND PARENTAGE
Mar Gregorios was born on 15th June 1848 (M.E.
Mithunam 3, 1023) to Kochu Mathai and Mariam of Pallathetta family in the Chathuruthy
house at Mulamthuruthy. He was called by the name ‘Kochaippora’ and was given
the baptismal name ‘Geevarghese’. Kochaippora had two brothers and two sisters;
Kurian, Eli, Mariam and Varkey. Kochaippora was the youngest and was therefore the most
beloved to everyone. Unfortunately, his mother passed away when he was only two years old.
His eldest sister Mariam became to him all that a mother was meant. Mariam was married at
that time and had a child of Kochaippora’s age.

Ashan. Kochaippora’s paternal uncle Geevarghese Malpan slowly initiated him the
sacred language ‘Syriac’ and to the first lessons of priesthood.
