Saint Nikiforos the Leper and Wonderworker

by Simon the Monk
translated by the sisters of the Monastery of the Theotokos "Life Giving Spring"
Paperback, full-color: 170 pages

Saint Nikiforos (1887-1964) is a saint of our time. He suffered from Hansen's Disease, leprosy, in a time when little was known about the disease or potential cures. Lepers were forced to live in Leper colonies. Some lepers gave in to despair but others like Saint Nikiforos became leaders in the Orthodox Christian faith, true saints who suffered in love for Christ and his fellow man. He encouraged many people in his life and many miracles surround his life.
