Nestor

Biography

Saint Nestor Bishop of Magidos (Pamphylia, Türkiye). During the persecution of Decius (248-251) many Christians apostatized to save their lives. Nestor advised his followers to flee before renouncing their faith. But he was arrested and brought before the governor of Perge. He said to him: "Since you prefer your crucified God to our divine emperor and our immortal gods, you will also die on the cross." And he was crucified (250).
