St. Nicarete (d. 5th century) was a woman of Nicomedia who became a disciple of St. John Chrysostom. She left her home specifically to study theology and practice devotion and care for the poor in Constantinople. She became a follower of John Chrysostom and worked as a physician as well as a healer for the poor. She cured John Chrysostom of a stomach ailment. Later, when Chrysostom was sent into exile from Constantinople, she went with him.

St. Nicarete please pray for us to have to have a deep love for learning more about God.
