Resurrectional Apolytikion
The women disciples of the Lord heard from the angel, the joyful news of the Resurrection and the repeal of the sentence imposed upon our forefathers. With pride they said to the Apostles, "Death is vanquished, Christ our God is risen bestowing upon the world His great mercy." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion for Sunday of St. John Climacus

By your miracles you have become a light, shining upon the world. O John, our Holy Father, pray to Christ our God, to save our souls. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
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.
