The full title of the head of the Cyprus Orthodox Church is:

The Beautified Archbishop of New Justiniana and All Cyprus Chrysostomus II ....

Where is New Justiniana?

Are we New Justinianans or just Cypriots? Why not just Justinians, why Justinianans? ... and New? ... where is Old Justiniana?

[Tim Drayton]

Beautified - what he has visited a beauty salon?

Shouldn't that be beatified?

I Googled some and found the following information:

Sivrihisar is a small town in Turkey located at main route leading from central Anatolia to the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Sivrihisar was known as Justinianapolis under the Byzantines.

If Justianapolis is 'Old Justiniana'... is Sivrihisar 'New Justiniana'? I also found a French wikipedia entry mentioning Sousse in Tunisia as being the Byzantine Justinianapolis. Confusing to say the least... :/

Don't quote me on this, but a few ühhülğ searches leads me to believe the answer to your question resides in.........wait for it......TÜRKİYE

......After the conquest of Cyprus by the Arabs, 632-647, the Christian population with its bishops emigrated to the mainland. Justinian II built for them, near the Hellespont, a city which he called Nea Justinianopolis; their archbishop enjoyed there the rights he had in Cyprus, besides exercising jurisdiction over the surrounding country (Quinisext Council, can. xxxix, 692). After the death of Justinian II the Cypriotes returned to their island with their hierarchy.......

It was precisely that very word which alerted me and then made me wonder why Justiniana instead of Justinian ....

Yes that is in the Hellespont area I think But why Justiniana now?

But don't look so horrified .. did you not know that the area presently labelled Turkey originally belonged to Ellada ... and may I say roll on the day ...

You are of course correct....but that doesn't stop everything that took place before TÜRKİYE was founded being blamed on her !

I do hope all others take note of this
