Saint Amphilochios was a spiritual son of St Nektarios of Aegina and a spiritual father of St Gavrilia. His life on Patmos overlapped with that of Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, who was tonsured a monk there in the 1950s.

St Amphilochios started his monastic life at the monastery of St John the Theologian at the top of the island. Later he founded Evangelismos (Annunciation) Monastery depicted in the foreground.
