Saint Nektarios was glorified by the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 1961 with feast day on November 9.

Particles of the holy relics of Saint Nektarios are enshrined at Radu Voda Monastery in Bucharest, where thousands of pilgrims arrive every week to ask for help and comfort in their struggle with different sicknesses, including cancer.

In Romania there are several palliative care centres for advanced cancer patients. The most well known are in Bucharest and Cluj, both being protected by Saint Nektarios of Aegina.
