Our
college is named after St.Stephen (1st Century), one
among the seven ordained Deacons of Christianity. He
was also the first martyr of Christianity.His biography
and an elaborate apologia by him before Jewish council
are recorded in the book of "Acts, chapter 7 (Bible)".Though
by birth a Hellenistic diaspora Jew, he was brought
up by his mother as a true Christian.
He taught in the
synagogue of the Libertines. He was accused of blasphemy
before the Jewish council and was then stoned to death
and while dying, he prayed for the pardon of his accusers.

The
life of His grace Mar Thoma Dionysius is a source of
inspiration for all of us in the family of Mount Tabor.
His grace was a pioneer in the educational field of
Kerala .More than five decades back His Grace laid the
foundation for a Religio- Educational Centre at
Pathanapuram at a beautiful hillock, which he named
‘Mount Tabor’.
He was a student of Christ Church College, Oxford University
during 1937-39. Dr.S.Radhakrishnan, former President
of India was one of his best friends there. Inspired
by the noble traditions of western culture and civilization
His Grace wanted the Mount Tabor to be a really useful
educational centre for the people around.
He was consecrated Metropolitan of Niranam Diocese of
the Orthodox Church on 1940 and continued in the same
ecclesiastical post for 32 years till his demise on
3rd December 1972. |
