Chrysostomos II of Athens

Chrysostomos II (Greek: Χρυσόστομος Β΄, 1880 – June 9, 1968) was Archbishop of Athens and All Greece from 14 February 1962 to 11 May 1967.

He was born as Themistoklis Hatzistavrou (Greek: Θεμιστοκλής Χατζησταύρου) in Aydin, Asia Minor in 1880.

Chrysostomos engaged in activities involving national liberation that resulted in his being sentenced to death by the Sultan's Viceroy Rahmi Bey.

In 1922, Chrysostomos moved to Greece following the exchange of populations that took place after the Second Greco-Turkish War.

In Greece, he was appointed the metropolitan of a new metropolis, a position he retained until he was elected Archbishop of Athens.
