In Bosphorus, the Propontide, death of St. Nicéforo, Bishop of Constantinople, who, staunch advocate of the traditions of their fathers, opposed decisively the iconoclastic Emperor León the Armenian, defending the cult of sacred images. Expelled from its headquarters and locked up in a monastery long, he gave his soul to God.
