Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos (1903–1972) was a Greek Archimandrite and pioneering missionary for the Eastern Orthodox Church in Africa. Born in Vasilitsi, Greece, he dedicated himself to monastic life and priesthood before traveling to the continent in 1960 at the age of 57. He worked extensively across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, establishing mission stations and teaching the faith. Despite facing significant material shortages and health challenges, he focused on spreading Orthodoxy and preparing local converts for spiritual leadership.
