San Nilo

Of Rossano, in Calabria; born in 910, died 27 December, 1005. He was known for his ascetic life, his virtues, and theological learning. For a time he lived as a hermit, later he spent certain periods of his life at various monasteries which he either founded or restored. He was for some time at the monastery of Monte Cassino, Nilus' chief work was the foundation of the famous Greek monastery of Grottaferrata, near Frascati, of which he is counted the first abbot. He spent the end of his life partly there and partly in a hermitage at  VALLELUCE  near Gaeta. His feast is kept on 26 September, both in the Byzantine Calendar and the Roman martyrology.
