Apparently, the Head of St John Chrysostom has not left Russia since it arrived there during the reign of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich, in the early 1600s. This happy event is a gesture of gratitude on the part of the Church of Russia toward the Russian Church Abroad for our sending the holy relics of the New-Venerable Martyrs Elizabeth the Grand Duchess and the Nun Barbara to tour Russia a couple years ago.

Not wanting to directly contradict you, but I thought the head of St John Chrysostom is normally enshrined in Vatopaedi monastery on Mt Athos: it has an incorrupt ear.

His body is now in Istanbul, having been given by the Vatican a few years ago by Pope John Paul II.
