Archbishop Constantinople Exiled Frowning Noted Outspoken Powerful Preacher Rich Vestments Chrysostom
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, is depicted with a solemn expression as he holds open the Bible, his ornate vestments adorned with gold and precious stones signifying his high ecclesiastical rank. Born in Antioch around 347 AD, John was known for his eloquent and passionate sermons, earning him the nickname "Chrysostom," which means "golden-mouthed." His outspoken views on social justice and the moral responsibilities of the rich and powerful often put him at odds with the wealthy and influential members of society. Despite his popularity among the common people, John's unyielding stance against corruption and injustice ultimately led to his exile from Constantinople in 403 AD. The powerful figures of the city, angered by his criticism, banished him to the remote town of Cucusus in Armenia. Despite the hardships, John continued to preach and write, producing numerous theological and homiletic works that have endured through the centuries. His influence on the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches is profound, and he is revered as a Doctor of the Church and a patron saint of preachers and orators. This print offers a glimpse into the life of a man who, despite the opposition of the rich and powerful, remained steadfast in his commitment to the teachings of the Gospel and the welfare of the people. The intricately detailed vestments, the somber expression on John's face, and the open Bible all serve to underscore the profound impact of his words and the enduring significance of his legacy.
