Irmos: Beholding Thee lifted up upon the Cross, O Sun of righteousness, the Church stood rooted in place, crying out as is meet: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Delighting in splendors divine, O right wondrous martyr Nicon, thou didst pass through streams of torments unscathed, and didst receive the crown of victory as is meet.
Theotokion: Loving thee as her who is above creation, O Virgin Mother, the Creator showed thee forth as His Mother. Thee do the assemblies of athletes now graciously entreat.
Thou didst struggle as an ascetic, adorning thyself with the splendors of brave deeds; and having first mortified the passions of the body by suffering, thou didst later vanquish hordes of the demons.
Ye arrayed yourselves with the armor of piety against the enemy, O divinely wise ones, and by a glorious death obtained immortality, chanting: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
