St. Ephraim's First Official Celebration At Nea Makri (video)


Saint Ephraim the Newly-Revealed was celebrated on May 5th for the first time officially at his monastery in Nea Makri, which is the place he was martyred centuries ago and revealed himself only 60 years ago. When St. Ephraim was a monk at this ancient monastery, it was known as the Monastery of the Annunciation of the Theotokos of Amomon Mountain.

Metropolitan Eusebios of Samos gave a homily, and said: "Saint Ephraim, by his wondrous appearance, assures us that the Lord God lives." He went on to say: "Let us have Saint Ephraim as a model for our own lives and example to follow. Let us be jealous of his faith, walk the path of his confession, and establish within us a pure heart, that we may struggle with vigor."

See photos here and the video below of the celebration.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
