Our Father Among father among the Saints saints '''John Chrysostom''' (347-407), Archbishop of Constantinople, was a notable [[Christian]] [[bishop]] and preacher from the 4th and 5th centuries in Syria and [[Constantinople]]. He is famous for eloquence in public speaking and his denunciation of abuse of authority in the Church and in the Roman Empire of the time. He had notable [[ascetic]] sensibilities. After his death he was named '''Chrysostom''', which comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ''chrysostomos'', "golden mouthed". The Orthodox Church honors him as a [[saint]] (feastday, [[November 13]]) and count him among the Three Holy Hierarchs (feastday, [[January 30]]), together with Saints [[Basil the Great]] and [[Gregory the Theologian]]. He is also recognized by the [[Roman Catholic Church]], which considers him a saint and Doctor of the Church, and the [[Church of England]], both of whom commemorate him on [[September 13]]. His [[relics]] were stolen from Constantinople by Crusaders in 1204 and brought to Rome, but were returned on [[27 November]] 2004 by [[Pope John Paul II]].
He is sometimes referred to as "[[John of Antioch]]," but that name more properly refers to the bishop of Antioch in A.D. 429-441, who led a group of moderate Eastern bishops in the [[Nestorian]] controversy.
