St. Nicon Feastday: November 26 Missionary, called Metanoite. An Armenian, he was born at Pontus, on the Black Sea, in Asia Minor and entered a monastery at Khrysopetro. He was then sent as a preacher to Crete, and after enjoying considerable success, he went to his native country and Greece. He was given the title Metanoite because of his common use of penance as a theme for his sermons. He was noted for his miracles. He died in Peloponnesus.
