St Nicetas entered monastic life in early youth, and in time rose to the rank of Bishop in Chalcedon. As a hierarch, he showed outstanding compassion for the poor, caring for many orphans, widows and beggars.
When the Emperor Leo the Armenian attacked the holy icons, Nicetas stood against him, and was driven into exile, where he reposed after much hardship and suffering.
Troparion — Tone 4
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Nicetas, / entreat Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 8
You shone with the splendor of your deeds, venerable Nicetas. / You became an heir to the throne of the apostles. / Completely filled, O Father, with the teachings of God, you shone like the sun upon your flock. / Therefore we cry out to you: “Rejoice, beauty of Chalcedon.”
