Life

Holy Venerable Martyr Nilus of Poltava was a hieromonk and received the crown of martyrdom. He is commemorated in the Synaxis of the Saints of Poltava, on 4 July (old style, in the calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church).

The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the only source consulted, gives only the name, the rank of hieromonk and venerable martyr, the day of commemoration and the synaxis; no years or details of his life or death survive.
