Patriarchate
The full name of the Patriarchate of Antioch is the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch (Acts 11:26). His Beatitude Patriarch John X (Yazigi) currently occupies the seat. He resides in Damascus, Syria on the “street called Straight” (Acts (9:11); however, the patriarchate extends to Asia, the Americas, Europe and Australia.
