Kyrillos III of Cyprus

Born in Prastio village of Mesaoria, Ottoman Cyprus, in 1859 he became monk at the age of 13 at St Panteleimon monastery in Myrtou village, Kyrenia District.

Opponents of him in those elections were the Bishop of Kition Meletios, the Bishop of Kykkos Kleopas and archimandrite Makarios Myriantheas, later known as Makarios II who became Archbishop of Cyprus years later.

He was more moderate than his predecessor Kyrillos II and was accused of being too sympathetic to the British colonial rulers of Cyprus.

Archbishop Kyrillos died on 16 November 1933 of pleurisy.
