The Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, took on flesh, born of the Virgin Mary, to save humanity. He lived a sinless life, teaching love, compassion, and forgiveness. He performed miracles, healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons. He was crucified, died, and was buried, but on the third day, He rose from the dead, conquering death and offering eternal life to all who believe.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and guide us to follow Your path.

Niphon, as Patriarch, faced immense pressure from the Ottoman Sultan to yield Church authority. He staunchly refused, defending the spiritual independence of the Orthodox Christians.
