St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain
St. Nikodemos was born Nicholas Kallivourtzis on the island of Naxos in 1749. From his youth, he showed a profound love for learning, which led him to pursue studies in philosophy and theology. In his early twenties, Nicholas became a monk at the Dionysiou Monastery on Mount Athos, adopting the monastic name Nicodemos. His dedication to monastic life and his spiritual insight distinguished him from his peers.
He immersed himself in the study of scripture, the writings of the Church Fathers and related spiritual texts. He is best known for his work on the Philokalia, a collection of practical spiritual texts from various Orthodox sources, emphasizing the personal, inner prayer and the ascetic life. The Philokalia has had a remarkable, deep impact on Orthodox spirituality and continues to be a treasured resource for those seeking to deepen their spiritual lives.
St. Nikodemos wrote other spiritual and theological texts as well, covering such topics as confession, Holy Communion, and Christian ethics. Notable among his works are an Exomologetarion, a guide to confession, and The Evergetinos, a collection of ascetic writings. (There is a fine translation of the Exomologetarion - and several other texts of St. Nikodemos - made by Fr. George Dokos, former pastor of St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis.)
St. Nikodemos' life was marked by a commitment to spiritual renewal and the revival of traditional Orthodox practices. He emphasized the importance of frequent participation in the sacraments, personal prayer, and adherence to the teachings of the Church Fathers. Holy Father Nikodemos pray to God for us!
