ARCHBISHOP OF VOLOGDA AND VELIKAYA PERM' NECTARIOS GREEK: MINISTRY AND "HUMILITY"
Nectarios Greek was an archdeacon from the Patriarch of Constantinople after that he was Archbishop of Ohrid. He visited Moldavia, Poland, Antwerp. June 26, 1613 Nektarios became Archbishop of Vologda and Velikaya Perm'. A few years later, hierarch was sent to prison in the Novgorod Kirillov Monastery. Nectarios was liberated in 1621 by Patriarch Filaret. Preliminary observations on the facts from the life of Archbishop Nektarios suggest that the “foreigner”, having found himself in Russia in the Time of Troubles, received the support of secular and clerical people and took up the episcopal chair. However, his active work probably caused the dismissal from the post and the sending into exile.
