About
Jump to
Nikon "the Metanoite" (Greek: , Nikon ho Metanoeite; born circa 930, died 998) was a Byzantine Greek monk, itinerant preacher, and Christian Orthodox saint born in Pontus (modern north-eastern Turkey). Perhaps Nikon's most notable historical impact, according to Andrew Louth, was the light his Life, the biography of Nikon written after his death by a successor abbot in his monastery, shed on the re-Christianizing of reconquered sections of the Byzantine Empire. It is also special in its references of localities in Crete and the central Greek mainland. Nikon himself was special in that he was represented as a missionary monk, one who was constantly preaching rather than constantly praying.
