This Saint John Chrysostom prayer card commemorates the Archbishop of Constantinople (c. 347–407), one of the most celebrated Fathers of the Church. Known as Chrysostom, meaning “golden-mouthed,” he was renowned for his eloquent preaching, fearless defense of truth, and deep pastoral care for the poor and oppressed.
Saint John is honored in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Byzantine Catholic Churches, and the Orthodox Church as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs, alongside Saint Basil the Great and Saint Gregory Nazianzen. His contributions to the Divine Liturgy, still celebrated today, make him one of the most enduring figures in Eastern Christianity. The Western Church also recognizes him as a Doctor of the Church.
This prayer card is perfect for daily devotion, study of the Fathers, or as a meaningful gift for those who love the Byzantine liturgical tradition.
