Resurrectional Apolytikion Second Tone
When you descended to the realm of death You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant dignity. And when You from infernal depths and the darkness below did raise the dead. All the hosts of heaven's powers did proclaim and cry out, O life giving Christ and our God we give glory. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion of the Church
An example of the faith and a life of humility, as a teacher of abstinence you did inspire and lead your flock; and through truthfulness of your deeds were exalted by greatness, through your humility uplifting all and by poverty gaining wealth, Father Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.

                HOLY COMMUNION IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH

Holy Communion is offered in the Orthodox Church only to those individuals baptized and chrismated (confirmed) in the Orthodox Faith. To participate in Holy Communion, one must be in good standing with the Church spiritually (for example, married people must have had their marriage blessed in the church; and, all must be without grave sin on their hearts). For all Orthodox Christians, the proper preparation for Holy Communion must be observed; that is, examination of conscience, confession, reading the prayers for Holy Communion, and the proper fasting. If you have any further questions about this, please speak with Father Stelio. Women should remove all lipstick when approaching for Holy Communion. Please let the parents with babies, Catechism School children and the elderly approach first. ...Read Full Text >
