Life
Venerable Nicetas of Thebes was born in Thebes, the seven-gated city of Boeotia. At sixteen he entered monastic life, and his spiritual purity and character drew other ascetics around him. He received the gift of working miracles and reposed in the Lord full of days.
His troparion recalls that he followed the Lord from childhood through prayer, vigil and many kinds of ascetic labour, and that the monk Theodore saw him bathed in light. He is commemorated on 23 June (new style) and venerated locally, at Thebes.
Commemorated the same day June 23
