Nectarius of Aegina was a prominent Greek monk, scholar, and metropolitan who lived from 1846 to 1920. Born Anastasios Kephalas in Silivri, he pursued an ascetic life after becoming a monk at the Monastery of Nea Moni. He served as the Metropolitan of Pentapolis in Egypt, though he was later suspended from this position due to professional jealousy. After returning to Greece, he directed an ecclesiastical school and eventually established the Holy Trinity Monastery on Aegina, where he lived as a monk until his death.
