Greatmartyr Niketas the Goth - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

You took up the Cross of Christ bravely, as though taking up arms, / and hastening to battle against the enemies, / you suffered for Christ, after which you gave your sacred soul to the Lord; / therefore, you were worthy to receive from Him the gift of healing, / O Great Martyr Nikḗtas. / Pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You defeated the might of delusion by your firm resolve, / and receiving a crown of victory through your suffering, / O Nikḗtas, namesake of victory,1 you rejoice with the Angels; / and with them, pray unceasingly to Christ God for us all.


1 In Greek, the name Nikḗtas signifies victory.
