Mar Abimalek Timotheus (28 August 1878 – 30 April 1945) was an Assyrian priest of the Church of the East who served as Metropolitan of Malabar and All India from 1907 until his death in 1945.[3] Born in the village of Mar Bisho in the Ottoman Empire, he was sent to India by Catholicos-Patriarch Shimun XIX after Shimun received a petition to appoint a bishop from the Chaldean Syrian Church in Trichur (now Thrissur).[3]
The Holy Synod of the Assyrian Church of the East announced that Timotheus would be canonised in May 2018 following the adoption of a new procedure for canonisation,[1][4] and his sainthood was formally proclaimed by Catholicos-Patriarch Gewargis III on 29 September 2019.[5]
