The Patriarch of Antioch came to Kerala in 1931 to reconcile the two Malankara factions, worked at it for a year, and died at Manjinikkara in February 1932 without succeeding. He was buried there. The tomb became a pilgrimage site and the annual feast is now one of the largest Christian gatherings in south India.
