H.G Dr.Thomas Mar Makarios has entered into eternal rest.His Grace departed to heavenly abode at 11 AM(GMT) in Newcastle General hospital most graciously after doing his bounden duty. He was 83. As a priest, and especially as a hierarch, Metropolitan Makarios was distinguished for his ecclesiastical ethos, his work ethic, his adherence to the fundamentals of liturgical life, his commitment to the Orthodox Faith and the traditions of St. Thomas Heritage.
His personality and God given charisma is not easily replaceable. Indian Orthodox Church owe an immense lot to his personality and spiritual leadership. He was a great gift from God to the Church. A light is gone from the Malanakra Church. He was a shining beacon. I was an ardent admirer of him in Christ.

He was the first Bishop of the Diocese of USA, which he served with utmost love and commitment, leaving a shining legacy as a pious hierarch. Beloved by thousands of Indian Orthodox faithful, he will be remembered with everlasting gratitude as a model of benevolence, kindness and reconciliation.
