About this episode

The episode recounts the life and prophecy of Elder Theodore-Neilos Agiofaragitis, focusing on his last spiritual battle before death.

Few knew his name. Fewer understood the weight of his life. Elder Theodore-Neilos Agiofaragitis (1941–2016) spent decades as a desert ascetic in the gorge of Agiofarago, Crete — praying, fasting, and fighting invisible battles. Before his death, he gave a prophecy that stunned the Orthodox world: Israel would strike Iran's nuclear program. On Holy Tuesday 2016, Archimandrite Antonios Fragakis visited him on his deathbed — and witnessed something few are called to see. This is the account of the Elder's last, greatest spiritual battle.This English translation of selected Greek articles from romfea.gr and iconandlight.wordpress.com—edited with help from the Holy Resurrection of Christ YouTube channel—was presented on otelders.org by Porphyrios.
