Venerable Nectarius the Obedient of the Kiev Near Caves
Saint Nectarius the Obedient of the Caves, a monk of the Kiev
Caves monastery, pursued asceticism during the twelfth century. For his
unquestioning obedience to the will of his elder, the brethren and his zeal for
work, he was termed “the Obedient.” St Nectarius was buried in the
Antoniev Cave. His memory is also celebrated on September 28 and the
second Sunday of Great Lent.
