Lived 1075 – 1094 (aged 18–19). Nicholas the Pilgrim was a Byzantine hermit.
Veneration Three years after Nicholas' death, archbishop Bisantius of Trani commissioned the building of a new cathedral dedicated to Nicholas and asked in 1098/99 while participating in the Lateran council Pope Urban II for his permission for the sanctification of Nicholas. Nicholas' life is known primarily from three sources, of which the earliest was written three years after his death based on information provided by his travel companion Bartholomew.
His feast day is 2 June.
