Nectarius Pezhsky

Holy Venerable Nectarius Pezhsky was igumen and founder of the Monastery of the Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple at Bezhetsk (in the Tver province), and died between 1492 and 1494. He is commemorated on 3 April, by the old calendar.

The book "Description of the Russian Saints" lists him among the saints of Tver as "Venerable Nectarius, founder of the monastery of the Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple", with his repose on 3 April in the year 7000 (1492); other sources give 1493 or 1494. Nothing is known of his life; his relics lie under cover in his former monastery. The monastery, for men, was attached to the Anthony monastery of Krasny Kholm between 1722 and 1744, in two periods, and was abolished in 1764; today it is a parish church in Bezhetsk. The menologion of Dimitry Sambikin does not say whether he was canonized.
