Resurrectional Apolytikion First Tone
Τού λίθου σφραγισθέντος υπό τών Ιουδαίων, καί στρατιωτών φυλασσόντων τό άχραντόν σου σώμα, ανέστης τριήμερος Σωτήρ, δωρούμενος τώ κόσμω τήν ζωήν. Διά τούτο αι Δυνάμεις τών ουρανών, εβόων σοι Ζωοδότα. Δόξα τή Αναστάσει σου, Χριστέ, δόξα τή βασιλεία σου, δόξα τή οικονομία σου, μόνε Φιλάνθρωπε.
Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary
Εν τή Γεννήσει τήν παρθενίαν εφύλαξας, έν τή Κοιμήσει τόν κόσμον ού κατέλιπες Θεοτόκε, Μετέστης πρός τήν ζωήν, μήτηρ υπάρχουσα τής ζωής, καί ταίς πρεσβείαις ταίς σαίς λυτρουμένη, εκ θανάτου τάς ψυχάς ημών.
Apolytikion of the Church
ΑΠΟΛΥΤΙΚΙΟΝ – ΑΓΙΟΥ ΝΙΚΟΛΑΟΥ
Κανόνα πίστεως και εικόνα πραότητος,
Εγκρατείας Διδάσκαλον, ανέδειξε σε την ποίμνη σου,
Η των πραγμάτων αλήθεια δια τούτο εκτήσω τη ταπεινώσει τα υψηλά,
Την πτωχεία τα πλούσια.
Πάτερ Ιεράρχα Νικόλαε, πρέσβευε Χριστώ τω Θεω
Σωθήναι τας ψυχάς ημών.
APOLYTIKION OF ST. NICHOLAS
An example of the Faith and a life of humility, as a teacher of abstinence you did inspire and lead your flock and through your truthfulness of your deeds were exalted by greatness through your humility uplifting all and by poverty gaining wealth. Father and hierarch Nicholas intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.

Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life. - Translation by Narthex Press
