Life

Saint John the Hierarch is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 3 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) as patriarch of Georgia. The English calendar remembers on the same day two catholicoi of Georgia named John Chrysostom, John IV, who reposed in 1001, and John V, who reposed in 1048; the Greek list does not say which of them is meant.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life.
