Saint Ephraim followed Christ with great zeal, and excelled with the splendor of his life and the pains of his sport in the Serum of the Immaculate Attica, Nea Makri Region.

It was claimed to receive the great Sacrament of the Priesthood and the gift of serving the holy altar, as an angel of God, in the fear of God and a lot of overwhelm.

In 1416 AD the Turks invaded and looted Attica and forced the Duke of Athens to submit to the Sultan.

In 1424 AD the Turks violently invaded the Monastery of the Annunciation and slaughtered all the Fathers of the Monastery.

The Saint was absent in his cave on the mountain for prayer and as soon as he returned he saw the bodies of the Fathers in fear.

After burying them, he then wept bitterly.

The following year, on September 14, 1425 AD, the barbarians returned and found the Saint.

They arrested him and began his martyrdom, which ended on May 5, 1426 AD, Tuesday at 9 am.

They hung him upside down on a tree, which is still preserved, they nailed him by the legs and head.

Finally, his afflicted and martyred body was pierced with burning wood and thus he surrendered his holy soul to Christ the crowner.

After half a millennium the benevolent God prospered and they appeared, after many appearances of Saint Ephraim himself and many other miraculous events.

All that we know today, which was confirmed by the finding of the martyred and graceful relics of the Saint on January 3, 1950 AD

Saint Ephraim is celebrated twice a year, on January 3, the finding of his relics, and on May 5, his martyrdom.
