Patriarch Alexander III Tahhan (Arabic: البطريرك ألكسندروس الثالث طحان al-Baṭriyark ʾAliksandrūs aṯ-Ṯāliṯ Ṭaḥḥān; 1869–1958) was Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch[1] and all the East from 1928 to 1958. He was instrumental in the revival of churches and monasteries within the patriarchate. He also moved for the revival of the Patriarchal Theological School at Balamand.
Alexander, after consultations with the hierarchs of the other autocephalous churches, on May 31, 1958, authorized Metropolitan Antony Bashir to establish the Western Rite in the Antiochian Archdiocese in the United States.
He died on 17 June 1958.
