Niphon Kausokalybites was a Greek Orthodox monk and thaumaturge who lived from 1316 to 1411. Born in the village of Lukovë, he practiced hesychasm and spent much of his life on Mount Athos. During his tenure as the protos of the monastic community, he faced serious accusations of heresy from both political leaders and fellow monks. Despite these challenges, he was defended by prominent figures such as Gregory Palamas and Patriarch Callistus, eventually returning to a life of asceticism.
