Resurrectional Apolytikion (Plagal of the First Mode)
Let us worship the Word who is unoriginate * with the Father and the Spirit, and from a Virgin was born * for our salvation, O believers, and let us sing His praise. * For in His goodness He was pleased * to ascend the Cross in the flesh, and to undergo death, * and to raise up those who had died, * by His glorious Resurrection. -Translation by Fr. Seraphim Dedes

Apolytikion The Synaxis of the Archangel Michael And of the other Bodiless Hosts (Fourth Mode)
Supreme Commanders of the Hosts of the Heavens,
We, the unworthy, importune and beseech you
That by your supplications ye encircle us
In the shelter of the wings of your immaterial glory,
Guarding us who now fall down
And cry to you with fervour:
Deliver us from dangers of all kinds,
As the great marshals of the heavenly hosts on high


Apolytikion St. 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 The Entry into the Temple Of the Theotokos (Fourth Mode)
The sacred treasury of God’s holy glory,
The greatly precious bridal chamber and Virgin,
The Saviour’s most pure temple, free of stain and undefiled,
Into the House of the Lord on this day is brought forward
And bringeth with herself the grace
Of the Most Divine spirit;
Her do God’s Angels hymn with songs of praise,
For she is truly the heavenly tabernacle.
