OCTOBER 27
The Holy Martyr Nestor of Thessalonica suffered in the year 306 in the city of Thessalonica together with the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica (October 26).
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyr Nestor, O Lord, / Through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / And shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 3
Having fought the good fight, you won immortal glory: / Through the prayers of the martyr Demetrios you became a perfect soldier of Christ. / Therefore, O wise Nestor, do not cease to intercede together with Demetrios / For the salvation of us all!
