Apolytikion for Pentecost - Trinity Sunday
O blessed are You, O Christ Our God, Who by sending down the Holy Spirit upon them made the fishermen wise and through them illumined the world and to You the universe was ever drawn all glory to You O Lord. - 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.

Kontakion
When the Most High came down and confounded tongues of men (Babel), He divided the Nations. When He dispensed the Tongues of Fire, He called all to unity, and with one voice we glorify the Most Holy Spirit. - Translation by Narthex Press
