St. Kuriakose, (‘Mor Kuriakose Sahda’) is an infant martyr of unmatched glory. He received martyrdom at the tender age of three along with his devout mother Yulithy, in 303 AD. The mother and son were said to have fallen into the hands of the persecutors of Seleucia. Yulithy refused to answer their questions or deny her faith at her trial before the Governor of Seleucia. Enraged at her defiance, the Governor began questioning the child. A prefect tried to save the child, but the child answered all their promises and threats alike, saying "I am a Christian". In a rage, the Governor chopped off his tongue, dashed the little child's head on the steps killing the child instantly. The child’s body was brutally tortured, salt and sulphur filled in the nose, iron nails pierced through the tender body, cut it into pieces and put the body pieces in boiled water. As a miracle the body parts were joined and became one body. His mother, Yulithy thanked Heaven for her child's glorious martyrdom and she also in her tortures lead to crucifixion.

The holy mortal remains of Kuriakose Sahda was entombed in Malekurish Chappel on January 28, 1901 by Saint Geevarghese Mor Gregorios, (Parumala Thirumeni). Hundreds of people from far and near visit the Chappel and participate in the Holy Qurbana celebrated on every Friday and Sunday. On all Fridays, people used to offer pachor nercha praying for intercession of the Sahada and receive abundant blessings in terms of miracles in their lives through the intercession of the Sahda.
