Chrysostomos Lavriotis (1856–1908) was an abbot in Mount Athos from Madytos in Eastern Thrace.

Biography

Chrysostomos Lavriotis was born in the year 1856 in Madytos, Eastern Thrace. He moved with his father to Jerusalem and returned to his birthplace to complete his general education. He stayed for a short period in the cell "Annunciation of the Theotokos" in Karyes. He was sent by the Megisti Lavra to the Theological School of Halki, from where he graduated with honors. He returned to Megisti Lavra and was appointed assistant and then Principal of the Athoniada School (1886–1889) and later secretary of the Holy Community (1889–1894). He was ordained presbyter by Patriarch Joachim III when he was Metropolitan of Thessaloniki. He was elected head-abbot (1897) and served the Lavra as Commissioner and Representative. He was a member of the educational brotherhood of Madytians and the Society of Medieval Studies of Constantinople.

His murder

On his way to the Christmas celebration at the Great Lavra, on December 22, 1908, he was murdered at the borders of the I.M. Iviron. Regarding the reasons for his murder, his subordinate novice Alexander, who accompanied him, expressed the opinion that Chrysostomos was a victim of the Kelliotiko issue, i.e., the dependency of a large number of monks from the I.M. Great Lavra.
