Chrysostom (Saint John Chrysostom)

Saint John Chrysostom (c. 349-407) was an early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople known for his powerful preaching and theological writings. His name, meaning "Golden Mouth," reflects his eloquence. Chrysostom emphasized moral integrity, social justice, and the importance of the Eucharist. He advocated for the poor and critiqued the corruption within the church and society. His homilies and liturgical contributions, especially the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, remain significant in Christian worship. He was eventually exiled for his outspoken views, and he is venerated as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches.
