Ode 5. Σὺ Κύριε μου φῶς.

Who can recount your triumphs, all-praised Nikitas, the crowns which Christ bestows on you, who competed for his sake?

The Martyrs, having on earth accomplished their struggles, received from you, O Giver of life, a heavenly reward in the highest.

Now, O all-praised Nikitas, you shine like a beacon, declared to be second light as you stand gloriously beside the great light.

Mother of God, you bore the timeless light, subject to time for us in the darkness of life, and you shed light on the world.
