Resurrectional Apolytikion Third Tone
Let the heavens rejoice, and let things on earth be glad,
For the Lord hath wrought might with His arm;
He hath trampled upon death by death;
He hath become the first-born of the dead.
From the bowels of Hades hath He delivered us,
And grated great mercy to the world.


Apolytikion of Saint Athanasius of Athos (Third Mode)
The Angles' ranks were awed by thy life in the flesh
how though corporeal, and clad with earthly clay,
thou didst set forth with courage to invisible wars and wrestlings,
and didst boldly smite the hordes of the demons with mortal wounds.
Wherefore Christ rewarded thee with abundant gifts in return.
Entreat Him that our souls find salvation,
O most renowned Father Athanasius.


Apolytikion of Saint Nicholas (Fourth Mode)
The truth of things hath revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,
An icon of meekness and a teacher of temperance;
For this cause thou hast achieved the heights by humility,
Riches by poverty.
O Father and Hierarch, Nicholas,
Intercede with Christ God
That our souls be saved


Kontakion O protection of Christians (Second Mode)
O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame,
Mediation unto the Creator most constant;
O despise not the suppliant voices of those who have sinned;
But be thou quick, O good one , to come unto our aid,
Who in faith cry unto thee:
Hasten to intercession, and speed thou to make supplication,
Thou who dost ever protect,
O, Theotokos, them that honor thee.
