History
Paphnutius was from Egypt. After he learned about Jesus, he spent several years in the desert where he got spiritual direction from Saint Antony. Paphnutius eventually became a bishop. He was attacked for being a Christian, but he returned to his people as soon as he could and considered all his scars and losses to be a chance to glorify Jesus. He was invited to the first general council of the Church at Nicaea, where he spoke with great wisdom and mercy.
Activity
One of the things that came from the Council of Nicaea was the Nicene Creed. This simple statement of faith is a good reflection on the type of Christianity that Paphnutius taught and practiced. Today, pray the Nicene Creed as a family.
