Resurrectional Apolytikion Grave Tone
By means of Your Cross, O Lord, You abolished death. * To the robber You opened Paradise. * The lamentation of the myrrhbearing women You transformed, * and You gave Your Apostles the order to proclaim to all * that You had risen, O Christ our God, * and granted the world Your great mercy. - Copyright Fr.

Apolytikion for Sunday of the Holy Cross
Σώσον Κύριε τόν λαόν σου καί ευλόγησον τήν κληρονομίαν σου, νίκας τοίς Βασιλεύσι κατά βαρβάρων δωρούμενος καί τό σόν φυλάττων διά τού Σταυρού σου πολίτευμα.

Apolytikion of the Church
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.

Τη ὐπερμάχω στρατηγὠ τἀ νικκητἠρια, ὠς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγρἀφω σοι ή Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Άλλὤς ἐχουσα τό κρἀτος άπροσμάχητον, έκ παντοίων με κινδύνων έλευθέπωσον, ἰνα κρἀζω σοι Χαιρε νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε.
