St. John Chrysostom: Golden-Mouthed Preacher and Exiled Archbishop

The post marks the feast day of St. John Chrysostom on 13 November. Born in Antioch around 349, he earned the name Chrysostom, meaning "golden-mouthed," for his preaching. As Archbishop of Constantinople, he cared for the poor and denounced greed and corruption among the powerful.

His boldness led to exile, and he reposed in 407. The Divine Liturgy used on most Sundays bears his name, and he is honoured as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs. The accompanying image repeats these details, noting his dates as c. 349-407 and his title as Archbishop of Constantinople. The post ends with a request for his intercession.
