Nestor the Chronicler
Saint Nestor the Chronicler ( 1056 – c. 1114, in Kiev, Kievan Rus') was the reputed author of the "Primary Chronicle", (the earliest East Slavic chronicle), "Life of the Venerable Theodosius of the Kiev Caves", and "Account about the Life and Martyrdom of the Blessed Passion Bearers Boris and Gleb."
In 1073, Nestor became a monk of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The only other detail of his life that is reliably known is that
the "Primary Chronicle":
Theodosius has been glorified (canonized) as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church. His main feast day is May 3, the date of his repose. His relics were discovered by St. Nestor the Chronicler, on August 14, 1091, and were found to be incorrupt. The relics were transferred to the main catholicon (cathedral) of the monastery, and a second annual feast day was established in commemoration of this event.
