Life
Holy Hieromartyr Nicholas Golets (in Polish spelling Mikołaj Holz) was a priest of the Orthodox Church and received the crown of martyrdom in 1944, during the war, in the Chełm region of Poland.
On 8 June 2003 the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Poland numbered him among the seven clerics glorified together with the priests Paul Szwajko, Peter Ohryzko and Sergius Zacharczuk and others, and with all who suffered with them. The Russian Church has him in the Synaxis of the Saints of Volhynia. The Greek synaxarion commemorates the martyrs of Poland on the Sunday between 1 and 7 June.
