At the aposticha, these stichera, in Tone VI: Spec. Mel.: “On the third day…”—

O blessed Nicholas, have pity on me who fall down before thee, I pray, and enlighten the eyes of my soul, O all-wise one, that in purity I may gaze upon the compassionate Bestower of light.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—

At the blessing of the loaves, the troparion of the saint, in Tone IV—

As thou hast boldness before God, O most blessed hierarch Nicholas, rescue me from the enemies who seek to do me evil, and save me from men of blood, O holy one.

Stichos: Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy righteous shall rejoice.

O hierarch, we, the faithful, have acquired thee as a haven unbeset by storms, an impregnable rampart, a tower of confirmation and a portal of repentance, a guide and champion of our souls.

Zealous in his opposition to thy flock, O all-pure one, every day the wicked adversary seeketh to devour it. But rescue us from his harm, O Theotokos.

The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, a model of meekness and teacher of abstinence; wherefore, thou hast attained the heights through humility and riches through poverty. O hierarch Nicholas our father, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.

The mystery hidden from before the ages and unknown even to the angels, through thee, O Theotokos, hath been revealed to those on earth: God incarnate in unconfused union, Who willingly accepted the Cross for our sake and, thereby raising up the first-formed man, hath saved our souls from death.

Rejoice, O sacred one, pure abode of the virtues, standard of the most divine priesthood, great shepherd, most radiant beacon, who bearest victory in thy name, who inclinest mercifully to those who entreat thee, bending thine ear to the pleas of the infirm, ready deliverer, saving preserver of all who with faith honor thy most glorious memory! O all-blessed one, beseech Christ, that He send down great mercy upon the world!

Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Rejoice, O most sacred mind, pure habitation of the Trinity, pillar of the Church, confirmation of the faithful, help of the vanquished, star who, by the splendors of thy right-acceptable supplications, dost ever dispel the darkness of perils and sorrows, calm haven to which those beset by the threefold waves of life hasten and find salvation. O holy hierarch Nicholas, entreat Christ, that He grant great mercy to our souls!

Stichos: Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy righteous shall rejoice.

Rejoice, O thou who wast filled with divine zeal, and who, by thy dread confrontation and warnings, didst deliver from a wicked sentence those who were unjustly to be executed, O wellspring in Myra, pouring forth myrrh in abundance, giving drink to our souls and driving away the fœtor of the passions, O sword mowing down the tares of falsehood, O winnowing-fan scattering the teachings of Arius like chaff! O Nicholas, pray thou, that He send down great mercy upon our souls.

Glory…, the composition of John the Monk, in Tone VI—

O man of God, faithful servant and minister of the Lord, man of divine desires, chosen vessel, pillar and foundation of the Church, heir of the kingdom: cease thou never to cry unto the Lord in our behalf.

Now & ever…, the composition of Byzantius, in the same tone—

O Virgin who knewest not wedlock, from whence hast thou come? Who begat thee? Who is thy mother? How is it that thou bearest the Creator in thine arms? How is it that thy womb was not subject to corruption? O the great, all-glorious and awesome mysteries which we see wrought in thee on earth, O most holy one! We make ready fitting recompense for thee on earth: the cave; and we ask that the star be given from heaven, and that magi come from the lands of the East to the West, to behold the Salvation of men, Who is wrapped in swaddling-bands in the manger.

The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, a model of meekness and teacher of abstinence; wherefore, thou hast attained the heights through humility and riches through poverty. O hierarch Nicholas our father, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved. Twice

And “Virgin Theotokos, rejoice!…”, once.
