What holiday is October 27 today – what not to do, traditions and folk signs

What holiday is today in the church calendar?

Nestor is an outstanding figure in Ukrainian history, probably a native of Kyiv. He took monastic vows at the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, where he received deep knowledge and was actively involved in church affairs.

One of his most outstanding achievements was “The Tale of Bygone Years” – a chronicle that is one of the main sources of information about ancient Rus’. In this work, Nestor collected and organized information about events from ancient times to the 12th century, combining various chronicle records in order to preserve the historical memory of the people and their heroes.

According to legend, Nestor accepted martyrdom because of his devotion to the Christian faith and desire to preserve spiritual values. His sacrificial life and contribution to chronicling left a deep mark on history, contributing to the formation of national identity and the development of religious life in Ukraine. Nestor’s legacy continues to remind us of the importance of preserving historical memory and spiritual culture.
