Our righteous Father Nilus the Myrrh-streamer of Mount Athos.
Saint Nilus struggled in asceticism in the region of Great Lavra on Mount Athos, and spent the greater part of his life in seclusion, unknown to all. After death his holy relics streamed with myrrh so copiously that he is called the Myrrh-streamer.
