Saint Nektarios Monastery was founded and established in January 1999 by the reverend Elder Ephraim with the blessing of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The purpose of the Monastery is to provide a spiritual setting wherein worship and doxology of the Holy Trinity can take place ceaselessly by the resident monks; to be a luminous example of virtue and holy conduct for the faithful; and to preserve the sacred traditions of the Orthodox Church and transmit them to the ensuing generations.
Miracles of Saint Ephraim of Nea Makri
The healing of a paralytic
Testimony of the Abbess Nun Makaria
One year we were having a vigil service for Saint Ephraim on his feast day. A man who was disabled asked to come to the service. His family members brought him to the monastery a few hours prior to the begining of the service, and they were dragging him like a heavy object from the monastery gate to the chapel. In the chaple, the crippled man began bawling and proclaiming his sins. “Forgive me, my Saint Ephraim. I am to blame. I am suffering on account of my numerous sins. Have pity on me and grant me my health.”
