Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Metrophanes of Constantinople''' was the Bishop of [[Byzantium ]] from 306 to 314. He was the 26th [[Bishop]] of [[Constantinople]] during the [[Ante-Nicene]] Byzantium era, and his [[feast day]] is [[June 4]]. His father (Dometius) and brother (Probus) also served as bishops of Byzantium.
It has been said that [[Constantine the Great]], moved by Metrophanes' piety, was inspired to choose Constantinople as the new capital of the Eastern Empire.
