拜占庭皇帝阿纳斯塔西在位期间，艾弗冷是东部地区的行政长官。因为他非常虔敬且慈善而众所周知，由此受到了人们的极大尊敬。当时的安提约希亚遭到了地震以及火灾的破坏，需要进行重建，于是皇帝派遣艾弗冷完成这项工作。艾弗冷用才智和爱完成了这项工作。在这些普通的石匠当中有一位主教，不知什么原因他离开了主教职位，如同普通劳动者一样工作，没有人知道他曾经是一位主教。有一天，他同其他工人们在疲乏的工作之后躺下来休息时睡着了。艾弗冷看了他一眼，发现从他身上升起一道火柱直到天宇。艾弗冷感到非常吃惊和害怕，于是艾弗冷将这位主教叫到身边，要他发誓说出自己的真相。这位主教犹豫了一会儿，但是最后他承认了自己是一位主教，并向艾弗冷预言说，不久艾弗冷将会被按立为安提约希亚的牧首，因为年迈的牧首欧弗拉修斯在地震中去世，牧首的职位一直空缺。确实，艾弗冷被按立为牧首，由于他的善良、纯洁以及对东正教的热忱，上帝赋予了他施行奇迹的伟大恩典。有一次，为了说服一个异端，告诉他东正教才是正确的信仰，他将自己的披肩放在火上，向上帝祷告。他的披肩在火上呆了三个小时安然无恙。看到这之后，这个信奉异端的人感到非常吃惊，由此摒弃了异端邪说。圣艾弗冷于公元546年平安离世，由此得以进入上帝永恒的国度。
