Niphon, a monk from Mount Athos, reluctantly accepted the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Renowned for his strict asceticism and defense of Orthodoxy against both internal corruption and external pressures, he fearlessly confronted Emperor Alexander for his immoral life. After a series of exiles and returns, Niphon reposed in peace, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering faith and moral courage. May his prayers guide us to stand firm in truth.
Lord have mercy.
