Nika Week – Bipartisan Defiance of Tyranny
January 13th is the seventh of the 12 Days of Defiance, commemorating standing strong against tyranny. The first day honors St. Lucian, who resisted Pagan oppression during his nine years in prison. The sixth day honors John Hancock, Unitarian and first signator of the Declaration of Independence.
The final six days are dedicated to Nika Week, in honor of a moment of defiance in Constantinople during Christianity’s slow slide into the Dark Ages following the adoption of Trinitarianism.
