Saint Nicetas, Chosen man of God     9/22/2013

He lived in Constantinople, in the 12th century. With his life, he pleased God so much, that the church door opened itself, and the votive lamps lighted themselves before him. So much powerful was his prayer. As a certain deacon Sozon had desired and Nicetas had prayed, to the both of them appeared the priest from the other world with whom Sozon had been angry and had not reconcile with, before he departed. At first to them appeared a line of priests in white vestments, and then another line in red vestments. Among them Sozon recognized his opponent and reconciled with him. This took place at night, at the Church in Blachernae.
