Life
Saint Nicephorus the Priest was abbot of the monastery of Ephapsis and fell asleep in peace.
It is not known when he lived. A short note in a codex of the Great Lavra on Athos says only that, for his virtuous and God-pleasing conduct, he was made abbot of the populous monastery of Ephapsis. Some synaxaria commemorate him together with a certain venerable Agapius. His commemoration is on 13 May, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
