Overview |
The following is a chronological list of bishops and ecumenical patriarchs of Constantinople. The first 25 bishops are probably not historical figures, and the foundation of the See by Andrew the Apostle is almost certainly a later tradition.[a] The list is mostly based on the compilation made by Demetrius Kiminas,[4][better source needed] but there is no single "official" numbering of bishops. The official website of the patriarchate has a list of holders but gives them no numeral.[5][b]
