The Church commemorates Saint Nestor, Saint Capitoline, and Hyrcanid on October 27

The Church honors the memory of Saint Nestor, a third-century Christian from Thessaloniki in Greek Macedonia. According to his hagiography, Nestor defeated a giant named Leas in the name of Christ through the blessing of Saint Demetrius. Following this encounter, a ruler ordered Nestor to be killed by the sword.

The commemoration also includes Saint Capitoline and her servant Hyrcanid. Capitoline, a woman of wealthy lineage from Caesarea in Cappadocia, distributed her property to the poor and freed her servants. Hyrcanid remained with her as a devoted companion. Both women suffered during the persecutions under Diocletian.
