'''Chrysostomos I''' is the current [[List of Archbishops of Cyprus|Archbishop of Cyprus]].

Chrysostomos was born on [[September 27]], [[1927]], in the village of [[Statos]], [[Paphos province]], [[Cyprus]], to a poor family. After finishing primary school in his native village, he continued his studies in [[Kykkos Monastery]] and, later, in the Pancyprian Gymnasium.

Chrysostomos was ordained a deacon on [[February 18]], [[1951]]. The following year, he left Cyprus for [[Athens]] for higher studies. He graduated from the Theological School of the [[University of Athens]] in [[1961]] and returned to Cyprus. On [[October 29]], [[1961]], he was ordained a priest.

Chrysostomos taught theology from [[1961]] until [[1966]] at the Pancyprian Gymnasium. He left Cyprus again in 1966 for graduate studies in [[Greece]]. On [[July 28]], [[1973]] he was elected Bishop of Cyprus.

Chrysostomos was a staunch supporter of Archbishop [[Makarios III]]. He did not take part in the ecclesiastical coup against him and, after the political coup d' etat of [[July 15]], [[1974]], worked for Makarios' return to Cyprus. After the latter's death on [[August 3]], [[1977]], Chrysostomos became interim Archbishop until [[November 12]] of that same year when he was elected as Makarios' successor.

Chrysostomos has announced his retirement from the primacy of the [[Cypriot Orthodox Church|Church of Cyprus]] due to Alzheimer's disease.
