Saint Nikiforos was born in Constantinople in 758 AD. His parents Theodoros and Evdokia belonged to a noble and official social class but they were pious and virtuous people who nursed their son with the namas of the Holy Scriptures. In fact, his father's devotion to the true faith, caused him to be persecuted and exiled by the iconoclast and impious emperor Constantine V, Kopronymos in Nicaea, where he died. Gifted with special spiritual abilities, he acquired great theological and door-to-door training. However, he soon retired to an estate on the Bosphorus, where he devoted himself to the practice and study of the Holy Scriptures. But the emperor forced him to take over the management of the great poorhouse of Constantinople. When the Patriarch of Constantinople Tarasios, the emperor Nikiforos I, fell asleep.nominated Nikiforos as his worthy successor. and indeed on Easter Sunday of 806 he ascended the Patriarchal Throne. Throne which was equivalent to Golgotha. He fought hard for the honor and worship of the holy Icons.
