Nikḗtas of Thebes and those with him - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

(Podoben: “O citizen of the desert...”)
From childhood you followed the Lord, O Nikḗtas, / through prayers, vigils, and all forms of asceticism, / earnestly keeping His commandments, / for which you received the divine Schema, and were seen by Theodore, enveloped in perceptible light. / Glory to Christ Who glorified you. / Glory to Him Who made you wondrous. / Glory to Him Who has shown you to be a godly Elder.
