Nikoni wa Sparta

Mozaiki yake huko Hosios Loukas.

Nikoni wa Sparta (930 hivi - Sparta, Ugiriki, 998) alikuwa mmonaki aliyeishi miaka mingi bila makao maalumu, akikariri daima "Tubuni!" katika hotuba zake.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake ni tarehe 26 Novemba.
