Town and church holidays
January 31 in the church calendar is the day of remembrance of St. Nikita. He lived during the reign of Prince Izyaslav Yaroslavich in Kievan Rus. Accurate information about his life has not been preserved. What is known is that he decided early on to take monastic vows and fought the temptation for a long time. There is an interesting legend that one day the devil appeared before Nikita in the guise of an angel and told him to stop praying and read only the holy books. The saint lived like this for a long time, until the abbot of the Kiev Pechersk Monastery expelled the demons from his soul.
