Orthodox Icon of Nicephorus  the Confessor the Patriarch of Constantinople.

Commemorated June 2nd.

St. Nicephorus  was born about 758. He was well educated. His father, Theodore, was secretary to the emperor Constantine V Copronymus, a iconoclast. Theodore, however, was an iconodule and came into conflict with the emperor who removed him from his position and then had him scourged and tortured before banishing him. Thus, Nicephorus grew up with his father's example of defending the veneration of the images before his eyes.

When Constantine VI and Irene came to the imperial throne and restored the use of sacred images in churches, Nicephorus came to their notice and soon obtained their favor and was placed in his father's former position. He distinguished himself greatly by his zeal against the Iconoclasts. He also was secretary to the Seventh Ecumenical Council.

After the death of Patriarch Tarasius of Constantinople on February 25, 806, no one was found more worthy to succeed him than Nicephorus. To give an authentic testimony of his faith, during the time of his consecration he held in his hand a treatise he had written in defense of holy images, and after the ceremony was concluded, he laid it in back the altar as a pledge that he would always maintain the tradition of the Church.

Over the following years, emperor Constantine was blinded, Irene banished, emperor Nicephorus I, her successor, had fallen before the Bulgarians, emperor Michael I was driven from the throne, and, in 813, Leo the Armenian became emperor. He was an iconoclast. Leo began a campaign to suppress the veneration of the icons and to persuade Patr. Nicephorus to approve their removal. But, the patriarch did not bend. Foreseeing the storm gathering, Patr. Nicephorus and several bishops and abbots spent most of their time in prayer. Soon, emperor Leo, with certain Iconoclastic bishops, sent for Patr.

Nicephorus and his fellow-bishops. They obeyed the summons to the palace, but entreated the emperor to leave the government of the Church to her pastors. In a rage Leo drove them from his presence. Later, the iconoclast bishops assembled in the imperial palace and directed Patr. Nicephorus to appear before them, to which he responded, "Who gave you this authority?" Saying he would obey only to one of the other patriarchs.

The iconoclastic bishops proceeded to pronounce against him a sentence of deposition and the holy pastor, after several attempts had been made secretly to take away his life, was sent by the emperor into banishment. Michael the Stammerer, who succeeded Leo the Armenian, in 820, also favored the iconoclastic faction, and continued to harass S. Nicephorus, who died in exile, onu00a0June 2, 828, in the monastery of St. Theodore. By order of the empress Theodora, his body was brought to Constantinople with great pomp, on March 13, 846.

His principal works are three writings against iconoclasm.

Small rolls, but not to scratchy
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
We've been trying different bamboo t.p. brands. This one is not bad, but the rolls are quit small, so while this package has 24 rolls, they don't last long. The paper itself is pretty good. Not quite as soft as we'd like, but not the sandpaper of some others we tried.

Not my favorite
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
I've tried quite a few bamboo toilet paper brands, and this isn't a favorite. Even at 2-ply it's thin. It has a good texture while being soft, and lint free as advertised, but I find we use more of this brand due to it being thinner. It has a lower price point than some of the premium brands, but a classic case of "you get what you pay for" and since we use more it doesn't really save any money anyway. Also it says plastic free, but comes in plastic packaging - it's not clear if it is eco-plastic/ biodegradable or not. It's not a bad product, and everyone likes something different and has their own priorities, but personally I won't reorder.

Good quality and absorbancy
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
Was a little leery about bamboo toilet paper but I was tired of the how, even the 3 ply expensive toilet papers I've been buying, were not very absorbent. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. The sheets are smaller but they don't fall apart like the others and I think they are very absorbent even tho, at first, you don't think they will be. Will definitely buy this brand again.
