Annunciation to the Theotokos and Saint Ephraim Orthodox Monastery History

Saint Ephraim Monastery, Nea Makri was already in operation by 1576, though it was informally known as "Saint Paraskevi" at that time. As recorded in the Patriarchal Seal of May 10, 1611, issued by Ecumenical Patriarch Neophytos, it was officially known as the "Nativity of the Theotokos" and designated as a "Patriarchal Stavropigian Monastery." This document is preserved in the National Library of Athens.

In 1945, the monastery was reconstructed by Abbess Makaria Desypri, who restored it under its original name, "Nativity of the Theotokos." On January 3, 1950, she discovered the shroud of Saint Ephraim. In 1975, a ministerial decision restored its name to "Annunciation of the Theotokos," which, according to some sources, was revealed to her through divine intervention.

Notable events of the monastery's history include:

In 1945, Nun Makaria discovered the ruins of the old monastery dedicated to the Annunciation and established her cell there, guided by what she believed to be divine enlightenment. Most of the monastery's artwork consists of donations and tributes. The "portable icon of Saint Ephraim," located to the left of the church entrance, was created by Fotis Kontoglou but remains unfinished. In 1950, the relics of Saint Ephraim were found, having been buried for 524 years since his death.
