Great Martyr Necetas (Nikita), with scenes from his life

The center of the icon portrays the full-length figure of St. Nicetas (Nikita) standing in a frontal pose, dressed in a richly decorated armor suit with a streaming red cloak pinned to the chest. His arms are spread wide apart. He is holding a red cross (the symbol of martyrdom) in his right hand and a sword in his left. The centerpiece of the icon is set in an ornamental step-shaped frame constituting an arch above the saint’s head.
