John VII of Constantinople is read about 26 times a day, in 24 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to September 18, 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

John VII of Constantinople, surnamed Grammatikos or Grammaticus, i.e., "the Grammarian", was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 21 January 837 to 4 March 843, died before 867. He is not to be confused with the much earlier philosopher John Philoponus.

This page of the iconodule Chludov Psalter illustrates the line "They gave me gall to eat; and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink" with a picture of a soldier offering Christ vinegar on a sponge attached to a pole. John VII of Constantinople is depicted rubbing out a painting of Christ with a similar sponge attached to a pole. John VII is caricatured, here as on other pages, with untidy straight hair sticking out in all directions, which was considered ridiculous by the Byzantines.
