By Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou
The Holy New Martyr Ephraim the Newly-Appeared was martyred, and he was found by our most venerable mother Makaria, whom God has found me worthy to get to know very well.
She was, to tell you the truth, the first who received me as a Bishop.
I was then twenty years old and wearing pants. She came out of the monastery and said to one of her nuns, Ephraimia:
"Go, my child, three clergy are coming."
