Day of St. John Chrysostom
The Day of St. John Chrysostom honors the memory of one of the most famous Fathers of the Church, Archbishop of Constantinople, who became famous as a brilliant preacher and theologian - which is why he was called "Chrysostom."
His sermons and prayers are still used in Orthodox worship. John Chrysostom was an example of humility, love for people, and justice. On this day, believers visit churches, pray, and remember the power of words and wisdom.
