This year is the bicentennial of the translation of the Bible into Malayalam. In Thiruvanathapuram, India, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is paying tribute to this event.

From the article:

A book containing a collection of studies regarding the contribution of the Ramban, edited by M. Kurian Thomas and titled Kayamkulam Philipose Remban - Vayakthium Sambhavanaum, will be released by Perumbadavam Sreedharan, Chairman, Kerala Sahithya Akadami, at VJT Hall Thiruvananthapuram, at 11. 30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Monks who are priests and teachers are known in the Syriac tradition as Remban (Hebrew variant is Rabban). Fr. Philipose who reposed in the Lord 200 years ago was a Monk-Priest and Teacher and hence known as Philipose Remban.
