Nektarios-En

Saint Nektarios of Pentapolis was born on Tuesday, October 1, 1846, in Silivria, Eastern Thrace, to pious and poor parents - Demos (Demosthenes) and Balou (Vasiliki) Kefalas - and was the fifth of their six children. His father came from Ioannina, a sailor by profession, and his mother came from Silyvria.
‍
At his baptism, he was given the name Anastasios. He was taught his first learnings, along with Christian teachings, by his mother.

Anastasios, at the age of just seven, sewed sheets of paper together in order to make books to write God's words on them, as he himself said.

He travels to Athens, eager to learn, but unfortunately circumstances do not help and he is forced to return to Constantinople.

Lumio, previously called Foenix, was a social media analytics company that helped brands like Audi, David Jones and Red Balloon source legitimate influencers for social media campaigns.

“We were essentially the Instagram police and called out fake influencers left, right and centre. It was fun and all, but there is only so many bikini chicks you can look at on Instagram before you start losing your mind.”

Starting from his hometown, Silyvria, he spent his teenage years in Constantinople.
‍‍
His first job was in a Greek's tobacco warehouse in Constantinople and in his spare time he studied ancient the Greek writers and the Church Fathers. In order to benefit others spiritually he used to write, on small pieces of paper, what he thought was useful and put them on tobacco packets in the hope that those who bought them would read them.

“After this, we both took up golf on during the week and started eating fancy dinners at the local Country Club... Ha. This is not what happened at all. We suck at golf and love eating Guzman Y Gomez.”

Anastasios arrived in Chios around 1868.

He completed his secondary school studies in Athens and received his diploma from the Varvakeio School, since the earthquake of 1881 prevented him from completing his studies in Chios.

To do this they would have to build a company that would be profitable in its first year. Not the next Uber of *insert clever idea*.

1881

On the day he received his diploma, Nektarios registered at the Theological School of the University of Athens, continuing to receive financial support from the Choremis brothers from Chios, while in the second year of his studies he also received a scholarship from the "Papadakis bequest".
At that time, he served as a deacon in the Church of Agia Irini, in Aeolou street.

“Relume was an opportunity for us to build a profitable business, not a startup that bleeds cash, whilst doing what we love to do. It also allows us to learn about all types of businesses and the problems they deal with. These are all opportunities that we could potentially solve for in the future.

The five-year interlude of Nektarios Kefalas' ministry in the Patriarchate of Alexandria (1885-1890) as an elder and as Metropolitan of Pentapolis is the prelude to his ordeal in Greece. He served the church as a pious and penitent until his selection as director of the Rizarios Ecclesiastical School on March 1, 1894.

On 15 January 1889 Nektarios was consecrated Bishop of Pentapolis. His activity as Metropolitan was particularly fruitful and that is why he was the main candidate for the patriarchal throne of Alexandria.

In a short time, having the Patriarch's esteem, he ascended all the ranks of the priesthood and assumed particularly important duties. A number of them alarmed several co-bishops who were looking forward to the Patriarchal Throne. It was not long before a plot of slander and humiliation was laid against him, even to the point of his removal from his duties on May 3, 1890.

On 28 January, in a document by the political agent of Greece in Egypt, Ioannis Gryparis, information about Agios Nektarios was mentioned in connection with his imminent appointment to the Rizarios. Gryparis states his own estimate that Metropolitan Nektarios was a victim of intrigue and slander.
‍
Thus he confesses the Metropolitan's innocence of the charges brought against him by the patriarchs, which were the cause of his departure from Egypt.

Nektarios, with his charismatic personality and thanks to his patience, managed to restore peace and harmony within the school. A balance was achieved in the relations between the Ministry and the Council of the School and the interference of the Council in the duties of the Director and the teachers was stopped.

The work of Metropolitan Nektarios in Rizarios was organizational, educational, literary and pedagogical. His pedagogical thinking was unsurpassed. His students described that period as "sacrificial".

He spent his psychosomatic powers in the formation of the souls of the students and in the formation of their clerical consciousness. Through the teaching of the lessons of Christian Ethics, Pastoral and Catechism he was cultivating yet another spirit, that of piety and virtue.

He had great inner tolerance and generosity, vertues with which he managed to correct the immaturities.
He once found himself pleading barefoot, because, while entering the classroom, he saw a poor man who asked him if he could help him to get shoes. Nektarios immediately took off his own and handed them over to the astonishment of all.

Possessed by humanitarian feelings and with the love of Christ and paternal affection, he struggled to succeed in the great work he had undertaken. It is mentioned characteristically, that when a disciple committed a serious misconduct, he considered himself responsible since he had failed in his education.
‍
He tried to overcome every difficulty by praying and fasting.

This had an impact on his students, who usually repented and avoided repeating their missteps. Nektarios did his utmost to preserve the prestige of the Rizarios, without being possessed by vindictiveness and unnecessary severity, while he was also distressed by the imposition of punishments he could not avoid.

Nektarios, in a distinctive address to graduates of the R.E.S., refers to the School's contribution to its students:

On February 7, Nektarios of Pentapolis, in a letter to the Council of Rizarios, justified his resignation because of his filial character and the fatigue to which he was subjected during the performance of his duties.

« Λαμβάνω τὴν τιμὴ νὰ γνωρίσω εἰς τὸ σεβ.

On 9 May a letter/ invitation was sent to Saint Nektarios to participate in the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Rizarios, to which he did not respond for health reasons.

“Relume was an opportunity for us to build a profitable business, not a startup that bleeds cash, whilst doing what we love to do. It also allows us to learn about all types of businesses and the problems they deal with. These are all opportunities that we could potentially solve for in the future. For now, our goal is simple, we want to build a kickass business which means we really want our customers and the Webflow community to succeed too.”
