Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Gregory V of Constantinople''' was the 234th Patriarch of Constantinople. He served as [[patriarch]] for three separate periods at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries : from 1797 to 1798, from 1806 to 1808, and from 1818 to 1821. He was [[martyr]]ed in 1821 during the Greek War of Independence. He was glorified as a saint by the [[Church of Greece]] in 1921 and is commemorated as an ''Ethnomartyr'' (Greek: ''Εθνομάρτυρας''). He is remembered on [[April 10]].
