Athanasius II of Jerusalem

Athanasius II (Greek: Αθανάσιος Β΄; fl. 1229 – d. 1247+) was the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem from c. 1231 to 1244.[1] The Church of the Holy Sepulchre seems to have been largely in Athanasius' hands during the Latin control of Jerusalem.[2] The Serbian Archbishop Sava (1174–1237) guested Athanasius twice in the Holy Land,[3] and according to Serbian chronicles they were good friends.[4] After the Latin retreat from Jerusalem in 1244, the Melkites (who were the majority of the south of the Latin kingdom) turned to Athanasius.[5] Athanasius II was in negotiations with the Pope through friar Lawrence of Portugal in 1247; Innocent IV supported him against the Latin patriarch, Robert.[5]
