Life

Saint Nathanael of Seslavtsi is entered in the list of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church among the saints and martyrs of the time of Ottoman rule. His name is tied to Seslavtsi, but the source preserves no data on his birth, his struggles or his death, nor the day of his commemoration.

As a venerable martyr he is counted among the monks who received the crown of martyrdom for the faith in that age, and the Bulgarian Church keeps his name in its calendar of saints.
