Aboon Mor Baselios Paulose I or ''Murimattathil Bava'' (born at Kolenchery, India on 17 January 1836, died 2 May 1913) was the first Catholicos of the East after its reinstatement in India. The First Catholicos of the Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church was in power only for one-and-a-half years (15 September 1912 till his death on 3 May 1914). He was 76 years old when he became the Catholicos; he died the next year. == Early life and education== Paulosekutty, son of Kurien and Mariam of the Murimattathil family, later to be Mar Baselios І, was born on 17 January 1836. The ancestors of Murimattathil family belong to Pakalomatom family, from Bharananganam. This family was said to have been christened by St. Thomas. One family came by canoe and settled near the banks of Muvattupuzha river at Ramamangalam. The Murimattathil Kudumbam (family) has more than 600 families living near Ramamangalam. One branch settled at Kolenchery. Thus Murimattathil Bava was born in a Murimattathil family of Kolenchery. He learnt Syriac at a very early age and read many religious books from the collection of his uncle, Youseph Kathanar. When his elder brother, Kunjikkuru Chemmachen, a deacon, died, his parents and uncle Youseph Kathanar expressed their desire that Paulosekutty become deacon to take the place of Kunjikkuru. Paulosekutty was ordained Deacon by the Malankara Metropolitan Philipose Mar Dionysius (Mar Dionysius IV of Cheppad) at the age of seven. Deacon Paulosekutty completed his Syriac education from Konattu Yohannan, Malpan of Pampakkuda. In 1852, at the age of 16, he was ordained priest by the Malankara Metropolitan Philipose Mar Dionysius. Fr. Paulose took the responsibility of Kolencherry Church. He had the opportunity to continue his Syriac education under Yuyakkim Mar Kurilose, Metropolitan from Syria. In 1875 Patriarch of Antioch Ignatius Peter III visited Malankara. Paulose met him at Mulanthuraty. The Patriarch arranged for Fr. Paulose to be ordained as Metropolitan. On 17 May 1877, Fr. Paulose was ordained as Mar Ivanios Metropolitan (bishop) at Kunnamkulam Church by Patriarch Peter III. He was assigned the responsibility of the Diocese Kandanad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baselios Paulose I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
