Leontios of Cyprus

Leontios (secular name Antonios Leontiou, Greek: Aντώνιος Λεοντίου;[1] 3 March 1896 – 26 July 1947) was Archbishop of Cyprus for only 36 days in 1947.

Prior to his election as archbishop of Cyprus, he served as bishop of Paphos district.

He headed the Cypriot delegation which came to London in December 1946 to discuss enosis (union with Greece).

[3] The Archbishop died of typhus following a long period of diabetes, and consequently it was not possible for the body to lie in state for several days for public homage, as is customary.
