Father Sophronios became Saint Nikiforos’ devoted caregiver—nursing him, cooking for him, bathing him, helping him put on his shoes, guiding him to church and leading him to the chanter’s stand. He was not only his right hand and his left, but also his feet and his eyes—he did all these things understanding that God had sent him an angel to teach him the spiritual life. Saint Evmenios served Saint Nikiforos for seven years until the latter’s repose on January 4, 1964, in turn passing on the legacy of holiness to all those around him.
