About Saint Ephraim. According to the tradition received by the Church, Ephraim was born on September 14, 1384, in Trikala, Thessaly, and was tortured to death on May 5, 1426, near the site of the present monastery on Mount Amomon at Nea Makri. In 1950, after dreams reported by a hermit nun, a body believed to be his was found there, and it is kept as a holy relic.
The Synod of the Church of Greece declared him a saint in 1998, and the Patriarchate of Constantinople approved this in 2011.
