Resurrectional Apolytikion Plagal of the Fourth Tone
Εξ ύψους κατήλθες ο εύσπλαγχνος, ταφήν καταδέξω τριήμερον, ίνα ημάς ελευθερώσης τών παθών, Η ζωή καί η Ανάστασις ημών, Κύριε δόξα σοι.
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.

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
