Niphon, the Romanian shepherd-turned-patriarch, possessed such humility that he often disguised himself as a beggar to escape the praise of the people. Once, while secretly serving in a monastery, he was falsely accused of theft. Instead of defending himself, he remained silent, accepting the punishment. Later, the real thief was found, and Niphon's innocence was revealed. His response? He simply continued his humble service, unconcerned with the public's opinion.

O Holy Father Niphon, pray to God for us!
