3 Greek Orthodox Shrines Dedicated to Saint Nikephoros the Leper


1. Church of Saint Nikephoros the Leper in the village of Emporio on the island of Santorini.

It was consecrated on June 21, 2014 and is the first church dedicated to Saint Nikephoros the Leper.









2. Chapel of Saint Nikephoros the Leper which is located in the Hospital Loimodon "Saint Barbara" in Thessaloniki.

It was established by a priest named Fr. Stephanos and his presbytera Margaret after an ardent battle with authorities. It was built right next to the cell of Elder Eumenios Saridakes. In this little chapel is a beautiful fresco with the miracle that Elder Eumenius experienced when, entering the sacred cell of his spiritual father Saint Nikephoros, he captured him in the air in a state of ecstasy while at prayer.



3. Church of Saint Nikephoros the Leper in Syrikari of Kissamos on the island of Crete.

This church is located at the birthplace of Saint Nikephoros. It is still in the process of being built.

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.
