Life
Saint Nestor was the father of Saint Conon of Isauria (commemorated on the same day). His wife was called Nada. At first they were pagans, but by God's grace their son Conon brought them to the Christian faith and baptized them.
Saint Nestor later received the crown of martyrdom. He is commemorated on 5 March (new style) in the Greek synaxarion.
