Author Biography
Venerable Nikodim
(Nikodemos) of the Holy Mountain (1749-1808) is one of
the most well known Greek saints of recent times. Having received an excellent
education he entered monasticism on the Holy Mountain, where he labored in
asceticism for many years, fighting for the purity of Church
tradition.
The works of St. Nikodim are distinguished by their
multifaceted character. From his pen came the collections of patristic works
known as the “Philokalia” and “Evergetinos,” commentaries on the psalms, the
epistles, and the Church canons and liturgical texts; ascetic and polemical
works, lives of the Greek new martyrs, and other works as
well.
