Let
us be joyful in the Feast, rejoicing in
the exchange of Glad Tidings on the
day of the God-mantled One! Let
Kings and Leaders hasten to extol
him who appeared to the King in a
Vision
in
a
terrible manner,
convincing him to release the three
Generals arrested without cause.
And let us Shepherds and Teachers
come together and extol the
Shepherds emulating the Good
Shepherd in zeal. Let the sick extol
the Physician; those in tribulation,
the Rescuer; the sinners, the
Intercessor; the poor, the Treasurer;
the
sorrowful,
the
Comforter;
travellers, the Companion; and those
at sea, the Pilot; and let us all
eulogise the Great Bishop who
responded
warmly
everywhere,
saying: O Most Holy Nicholas,
apprehend us and rescue us from
the present distress, and Save Your
Congregation by Your pleadings.
Amen

To the Son Who was Begotten of
the Father without change before all
ages, and in the Last Times was
without seed made Flesh of the
Virgin, to Christ our God let us cry
aloud Thou hast raised up our Horn,
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
4
Rod of the Root of Jesse, and
Flower that blossomed from his
stem: O Christ, Thou hast sprung
from the Virgin - from the Mountain
Overshadowed by the Forest : Thou
hast come, made Incarnate from Her
who knew not wedlock - O God Who
art not formed from matter:
Glory to Thy Power, O Lord!
5
As Thou art God of Peace and
Father of Mercies, Thou hast sent to
us Thine Angel of Great Counsel,
granting us Peace. So are we Guided
towards the Light of the Knowledge
of God, and watching by night we
Glorify Thee, O Lover of mankind!

The sea monster spat forth
Jonah as it had received him - like a

Word, having dwelt in the Virgin and
taken Flesh, came forth from Her yet
kept Her Incorrupt.
