I came across this last week when I was looking for something related. I have no comments on the happening, but I was surprised to see that the host bears the Syriac-style Eucharistic seal. Am I mistaken?

Is that unleavened bread? If so, is that proper for the West Syrian tradition (I think that is where the Malankaras fall in)?

Could it be that Our Lord is endorsing Eastern Catholic Latinizations by this miracle?

I don't think our Lord is really in the liturgical endorsement business. wink If any would think that Jesus endorsed a Latinization by performing a miracle, it would be the same as those who say God the Father approves icons of Himself as an old man since there have been numerous "miracle working" icons which contained that depiction. Or, in the same vein, that God really approves of icon prints instead of the real thing because there are prints that have wept. But, God can use many things, even things we view as "incorrect", to bring people to Himself.

It is interesting, though, that you won't find these types of Eucharistic happenings in the (traditional) East too often. If something were to happen, it would not be viewed in as high a regard as in the West, or so I think.
