In 1844, Kyrillos Papadopoulos, Greek: Κύριλλος Παπαδόπουλος), was born in the village of Prodromos in Limassol District on the island of Cyprus. He was later given the nicknamed ''Kyrillatsos'' (big Kyrillos) to differentiate him from [[Kyrillos IIIof Cyprus|Kyrillos III]].
He studied in Jerusalem at the Theological School of the Holy Cross (Greek: Θεολογική Σχολή του Τιμίου Σταυρού) between 1866 and 1872. Later, he taught at the Greek School of Nicosia. He was elected to the legislature of Nicosia-Kyrenia, but gave up because he couldn't find his name in the election directories for voting. He, also, was member of the Law Council of Cyprus between 1889 and 1911 and a committee member of Paphos metropolis during the years 1888 and 1889.
