Born Michael Christodoulou Mouskos, Makarios III (13 August 1913 – 3 August 1977) was a Greek Cypriot clergyman and politician, who served as the Archbishop and Primate of the autocephalous Church of Cyprus (1950–1977) and as the first President of Cyprus (1960–1977). In his three terms as President he survived four assassination attempts and a coup d'état. He is widely regarded by Greek Cypriots as the Father of the Nation or "Ethnarch".
The bronze bust of Archbishop Makarios III sits on a large stone base on the grounds of the Benito Juarez City Hall in Cancun.
