Life

Saint Niphon Telegovsky, also called Niphon of Ustyug, was a venerable father and passed away in 1553. The Synaxis of the Saints of Vologda counts him among the venerable fathers of that land.

The council's list, the only source consulted about him, gives just the rank of venerable, the year 1553 and 12 July as his day of commemoration (the source does not say in which style); no details of his life survive.
