Life

Holy Venerable Nestor of Solovki is an ascetic of the Solovki Monastery on the White Sea, whom the Azbyka page names only through his liturgical commemoration, without a written life.

He is remembered on 11 July, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Novgorod, and on 22 August, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Solovki, in the new style. No further facts about his life are preserved in this source.
