nestor of magydos

little is known about saint nestor , also known as saint nestor of perge or hieromartyr nestor of magydos , other than that he was bishop of magydos in pamphylia , in what is now modern turkey .
his courage and authority were so noteworthy that a roman magistrate uttered these words : '' `` until we have got the better of the bishop , we shall be powerless against the christians . '' ''
he was arrested under emperor decius , and sentenced to death by the local roman governor , pollio or epolius of lycia , after refusing to sacrifice to the pagan gods of the state .
his feast day is february 25 in the roman catholic church and february 28 in the orthodox church .
