Nilus

Nilus was a boy of 11, the son of Myron Ionin Rui. He was killed on 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising. He suffered together with his parents and his brothers and sisters.

The Boxers had pressed the Orthodox to burn incense before the idols and to deny Christ; those who stayed faithful were killed, and their houses and churches were burned. His name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.
