According to his Life, he came from the Gothic tribes and was converted to Christianity by Bishop Theophilus, a participant in the First Ecumenical Council of 325. When, as a result of internecine wars among the Goths, pagans came to power, Saint Nikita was captured, tortured, and burned at the stake in 372.
