Life
Saint Nicholas of Stilo was an Italo-Greek monk of Calabria who lived on Mount Consolino above the town of Stilo. He reposed on 9 August 1050.
He lived in a cave together with Saint Ambrose, in repentance, prayer and vigil. Their example drew the young John Theristis so strongly that he chose the same way of life. No further reliable details of his life survive in the sources at hand.
