Archbishop Chrysostomos, head of the Cypriot Church, dies
On November 7, 2022, the earthly journey of the head of the Cypriot Orthodox Church, Archbishop Chrysostomos, ended. The press service of the Church of Cyprus reports on his death.
Archbishop Chrysostomos died after a severe long-term illness – he had been fighting with oncology for four years, having undegone several operations.
In the near future, an emergency meeting of the Synod of the Cypriot Church will be held, at which the date of the funeral of the deceased archbishop will be determined.
Recall that the well-being of the head of the Cypriot Church deteriorated sharply in October. Then Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem and Patriarch John of Antioch visited him. In turn, Metropolitan Nikiforos of Kykkos reconciled with the seriously ill archbishop.
As the UOJ reported, in 2020, single-handedly, without agreement with the Synod of the Cypriot Church, Archbishop Chrysostomos began to commemorate Epifaniy Dumenko, thus recognizing the OCU, after which the ROC broke canonical communion with the head of the Cypriot Church and stopped commemorating him in the diptych.
