The Three Hierarchs
The Christian Church commemorates the three great fathers and universal teachers, the Great Kingdom, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom. In Greece they are honored as patrons of education and letters.
The feast of the Three Hierarchs was introduced to the Church in the middle of the 11th century by the scholar and Metropolitan of Eucharist Ioannis Mavrophos (1000-1070), under Emperor Constantine I of Gladiakos (1000-1055).
The purpose of Mavropodos was to present these three prominent personalities of Christianity as the predominantly superiors of the Triune doctrine and to put an end to the fracture that he was growing in the church body for which of the three hierarchs is the most important. It is noteworthy that at that time a large number of priests and believers had been divided into three groups: the Ioannites, the Gregory and the Kingdom.
The feast of the Three Hierarchs, in addition to the ecclesiastical character, also has a teacher in our own. It is regarded as the feast of Greek letters, since the three Hierarchs contributed to the development of Christian teaching, coupled with the development of ancient Greek letters.
The educational character of the Feast of the Three Hierarchs was established on August 9, 1841 by the Academic Council of the Ottoy University (now National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) and was first commemorated on January 30, 1842.
