After completing his studies in 1770, Nicholas returned to Naxos, where he was appointed secretary by Metropolitan Antimos. After several visits to Mount Athos, Nicholas entered monasticism (at Dionysos Monastery) at the age of 26. And after two years of listening, he was a rasophone, receiving the name of Nicodemus
At that time, Bishop Macarius of Corinth asked Nicodemus to correct and prepare the print "Filocalia ". The artwork was printed in 1782 in Venice. The number of patristic writers included in the collection is 36 and covers a period of 1100 years, that is to say the 4th-15th centuries.
