Feast of the Holy Great Martyr Nikita (according to the new calendar)

One of the main religious holidays on September 15 is the glorification of the Holy Great Martyr Nikita, who is revered in the Orthodox tradition. St. Nikita was a warrior of Gothic origin who became a zealous Christian and actively preached Christianity among his people.

However, his activities did not please the pagan rulers, so he was captured and executed for his faith. His martyrdom became an example of loyalty to Christian ideals. Since then, St. Nikita has been revered as one of the greatest martyrs.
