Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, the Hagiorite
Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, the Hagiorite (c.1749–1809). Greek monk and spiritual writer. Born in Naxos, he became a monk on Mount Athos in 1775. He was immensely prolific in editing and publishing traditional monastic texts on spiritual, ascetic, and liturgical subjects, and a great advocate of the Jesus prayer and frequent communion. His most important work, with Macarius of Corinth, was the Philokalia (1782), an anthology of spiritual texts treasured by the hesychasts.
