Our venerable father '''Nicetas the Confessor''' was a [[monk]] during the 9th century who was a defender of the veneration of [[icon]]s. He became [[abbot]] of the Mydicia [[monastery]] and was imprisoned for his opposition to [[iconoclasm]].

:Father Nicetas, you enlighten those in the darkness of life guiding them all to God.

:Pray without ceasing for us all!
