Niphon, a monk from Mount Athos, reluctantly accepted the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Known for his strict adherence to canon law and deep spirituality, he clashed with Emperor Alexander over the Emperor's immoral lifestyle, refusing him communion. Exiled for his principles, Niphon's integrity and devotion to his faith remained unwavering, eventually leading to his recognition as a saint. Pray for Niphon to guide us in standing firm for righteousness.
