Noultzos of Kastoria

Saint Noultzos of Kastoria, a new martyr, lived at the end of the seventeenth century and received the martyr's death in 1696, under Ottoman rule.

The only information about him is in a note by Metropolitan Dionysius Mandukas of Kastoria (1694-1719), in the codex of the Metropolis of Kastoria. Noultzos was from Kastoria. Together with his brother and his brother-⁠in-⁠law, he refused to renounce faith in Christ. For this, on 27 April 1696, the Ottomans hanged them on a poplar tree in Kastoria.

The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate canonized him on 3 October 2019, on the proposal of Metropolitan Seraphim of Kastoria.
