Martha Mariam Vanitha Samajam is the association of women in the Malankara Orthodox Church with Blessed Virgin Saint Mary as the patron Saint. ‘Martha’ is the feminine form of ‘Mar’ which means Saint in Syriac language. So Martha Mariam Vanitha Samajam association named after St. Mary. The Samajam mainly aims at spiritual growth of women. The Holy Mother, St. Mary showed us a good example of supporting the Christian Ministry. By reading the Bible, we can see that St. Mary followed Jesus throughout His ministry, even to His death at the cross. The motto of the Samajam is “Pray, Act and Shine.” Jesus taught us to pray, asked us to help the needy and called us to be the “light of the world”. As Samajam members try to follow that in their daily life. Once in every month, after the celebration of the Holy Qurbana, MMVS members gather at the church and worship God by reading the Bible, singing devoional songs and sharing messages. They also support charitable organizations here and in India. Martha Mariam Vanitha Samajam has an integral role in the growth of St. Gregorios Malankara Orthodox Church. May the intercession of St. Mary be a stronghold for all of us.
