Life

The Holy Martyrs Nestor and Tribimius were from Pamphylia, in Asia Minor. In the time of the persecution of the emperor Decius (249-251) they preached fearlessly the law of Christ. The confessors were seized, beaten with dried ox sinews, hung from a tree and had their bodies cut, but they did not give up the faith. In the end Nestor and Tribimius were beheaded.

The Church of Georgia commemorates them on 1 March (old style; 14 March new style).
