'''Saint John Chrysostom''' (c. 347 – September 14, 407 AD), known as “Golden-Mouthed” (Chrysostom) for his unparalleled eloquence, was a [[Saints|saint]], bishop, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside [[Saint Basil the Great]] and [[Saint Gregory of Nazianzus]]. Born in [[Antioch]], Roman Syria, to a devout Christian mother, Anthusa, he studied rhetoric under the pagan orator Libanius and philosophy in Athens. Baptized in 368, he embraced asceticism as a hermit before ordination as a deacon in 381 and priest in 386. As Archbishop of [[Constantinople]] (397–404), his fiery sermons against imperial corruption, particularly targeting Empress Eudoxia, led to his exile in 403 and again in 404. His writings, including *On the Priesthood*, *Homilies on Matthew*, and the *Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom*, profoundly shaped Christian theology and liturgy. He died in exile in Comana Pontica from illness and exhaustion, a martyr to truth. Canonized pre-Congregation, he was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1568 by [[Pope Pius V]]. His feast days are September 13 in the Roman Catholic Church, January 27 (main feast) and November 13 (relics’ translation) in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Patron of preachers, orators, Constantinople, education, and epilepsy, his relics rest in the Patriarchal Cathedral of Saint George, Istanbul, after their return from Rome in 2004.<ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=John Chrysostom |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Chrysostom |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref><ref name="web5">{{cite web |title=St. John Chrysostom |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08452b.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref>
