Atenágoras I was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1948 until his death in 1972. He is best known for his role in promoting Christian unity and dialogue between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. Atenágoras played a pivotal role in the rapprochement between these two branches of Christianity, particularly through his meeting with Pope Paul VI in 1964, which was a historic step toward reconciliation after centuries of division.
