The Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece is an Old Calendarist body (one of the Florinite jurisdictions) which in 1935 broke from the Church of Greece over the latter's use of the Revised Julian Calendar, believing instead that the Julian Calendar is the only correct calendar for the Orthodox Church. It is not in communion with the mainstream Orthodox Church. Its current primate is Archbishop Chrysostomos II.
