Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem

Okay kiddo, in a place called Jerusalem (which is in the Middle East), there is a very important religious leader called the Greek Orthodox Patriarch. He is like a boss, or leader, of a group of Christians who follow the Greek Orthodox faith.

The Greek Orthodox Patriarch is very important because he is in charge of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, which is a very old and special church. He helps make important decisions about how the church is run and teaches people about their religion.

People called bishops help the Greek Orthodox Patriarch with his work. They help lead the church and help the Patriarch with important decisions.

Some people believe that the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem is the oldest religious leader in the world because his church has been around for a really long time, since many hundreds of years ago.
