Память святого Никиты Исповедника

Saint Nikita was the archbishop of the city of Apollonias. He was distinguished by his piety, mercy and deep knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. During persecution from the iconoclasts, they tried in vain to force him not to pay veneration to the holy icons. He was exiled to prison, where he ended his life during the reign of Leo the Armenian. You might be interested in:
