The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Nicanor of the Seventy was among the first deacons in the Church along with Stephen , Philip , Parmenas , Prochorus , Timon and Nicholas. Although they died at various times and in various places, they are commemorated together on July 28 . St. Nicanor is also commemorated on January 4 with the Synaxis of the 70 Holy Apostles.
In the Acts of the Apostles (6:1-6) it is said that the twelve Apostles chose seven men full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, and appointed them to serve as deacons.
Although St. Nicanor suffered on the same day that the holy Protomartyr Stephen ( December 27 ) and many other Christians were killed by stoning, he is commemorated on December 28 .
Tropar
O holy apostle Nicanor, entreat the Merciful God that He may grant the remission of sins to our souls.
Kondak
As a most bright star the church hath for ever acquired thee, O apostle Nicanor, being enlightened with the grant of a multitude of thy miracles wherefore we call unto Christ: Save, O Greatly-merciful, those who in faith honour the memory of Thine apostle.
