Commemorated on October 27
The
Monk Nestor the NonBookish, named thus in distinction from the Monk
Nestor the Chronicler, asceticised in the Farther Caves. His memory is
celebrated 28 October.
The
name of the Monk Nestor the NonBookish is mentioned in the General Service to
the Monks of the Farther Caves: "The Word of God, comprehended of man,
taught thee not by bookish wisdom, O holy Nestor, but from on high; thou hast
beheld it through the prayers of the Angel, and thy end thou did foresee; may
we with thee be made partakers, we pray, in honouring thine memory". His
memory is celebrated also on 28 August and on the 3rd Sunday of great Lent.
