Abstract

Archimandrite Aemilianos Kazantzidis, Importance of the Work of St Nikodemos Hagiorites for the Ecclesiastical Life Today. St. Nikodemos is probably the most important spiritual writer of the Orthodox Church during the last century of the Ottoman Epoch. His works and deeds are concentrated on the Patristic legacy, and his target audience is the Orthodox monks. His editorial and missionary work stimulated not only the ascetic life of the Hagioreitic monastic community but also the educational activities of the Orthodox Church during that period. His influence continues to affect the Orthodox Christians to this day.
