Resurrectional Apolytikion
Eternal with the Father and the Spirit is the Word, Who of a Virgin was begotten for our salvation. As the faithful we both praise and worship Him, for in the flesh did He consent to ascend unto the Cross, and death did He endure and He raised unto life the dead through His all glorious resurrection. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Apolytikion for Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Mother. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Mary, your soul rejoices with the angels. -Translation by Narthex Press

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.

Kontakion
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
