==Consecration==
The leaders of the Puthenkoor Malankara Syrian Church selected a nephew (brother's son) of [Thoma I](/source/Thoma_I) as his successor. He was consecrated by [Thoma I](/source/Thoma_I) and the Antiochean patriarchal delegate [Gregorios Abdul Jaleel](/source/Gregorios_Abdul_Jaleel) who was the archbishop of Jerusalem. He was the second Thoma who ascended the throne of Malankara Syrian church. When [Thoma I](/source/Thoma_I) died on 25 April 1670 Mar Thoma II, took charge of the Church.

==Visits by foreign bishops==

''Mar Anthraos'' and three of his brothers from the Middle East arrived at the [Mulanthuruthy](/source/Mulanthuruthy) church in 1678. Later on they moved to various churches and arrived at [St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Puthencavu](/source/St._Mary's_Orthodox_Cathedral%2C_Puthencavu) (near [Chengannur](/source/Chengannur)). On 29 February 1692 while visiting Kallada, he went to the nearby river and was drowned. Two of his brothers went back to [Mulanthuruthy](/source/Mulanthuruthy) and raised families there. Descendants of one of them later established the [Malabar Independent Syrian Church](/source/Malabar_Independent_Syrian_Church).<ref>Souvenir published by Puthencavu St.Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, pp. 209–211.</ref>
