Nestor the Martyr of Thessaloniki

Reading from the Synaxarion:

As mentioned in the account concerning Saint Demetrius (October 26),
this Saint contested during the reign of Maximian, in the year 290.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the
prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal
God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants
and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ
God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.

Kontakion in the Second Tone
Well didst thou contest; hence, thou hast now inherited immortal
renown, wise Nestor, and thou art become Christ the Master's excellent
soldier by the holy and fervent prayers of the Martyr Demetrius. Thus,
with him, cease not to pray for all of us.
