Niphon, Patriarch of Constantinople, foreseen by an angel, abandoned his noble life for monasticism. Renowned for his asceticism and spiritual gifts, he was appointed Patriarch, but his stern moral rectitude clashed with the Emperor's sinful court, leading to his unjust deposition and exile. Niphon patiently endured his trials, continuing to perform miracles and guide believers until his death.

Lord, guide our leaders with the strength and humility of Niphon.
