Venerable Nilus of Calabria 10/9/2013
A great ascetic among the Greek in Calabria, a founder of several monasteries, a miracle-worker and defender of Orthodoxy. He walked a long, long way only to save a man from a hard punishment. So, he was filled with a great love for his neighbours. He fell asleep in the Lord in 1005. He left numerous disciples after him, as worthy as himself, among which the most distinguished is Saint Bartholomew (+ 1044), the author of several canons.
