At the aposticha, Glory...., in Tone II —

The fiery grace of the Spirit doth gloriously transfigure the soul of the sinful one, the sinful possessions are cast into the fire, and our hearts are enflamed, beholding the salvation of mankind.

Now & ever...: Theotokion —

At the Blessing of the Loaves, the troparion “Virgin Theotokos, rejoice...,” twice, and then that of the fathers, in Tone VIII —

This day let us, the assemblies of the Orthodox, faithfully acting in accordance with piety, celebrate the prayerful commemoration of the God-bearing fathers who in the splendid city of Nicæa assembled from throughout all the world; for with pious resolve they cast down the godless dogma of the fearsome Arius, and in council expelled him from the catholic Church, and in their Symbol of Faith have clearly taught all to confess the Son of God to be consubstantial, equally everlasting, and existent from before the ages, setting this forth precisely and devoutly. Wherefore, following their divine dogmas and believing them with certainty, we worship the Trinity One in Essence — the Son and the Holy Spirit together with the Father — in One Godhead.

Mercifully regard the supplications of thy servants, O all-immaculate one, quelling the uprisings of the cruel demons against us, delivering us from every sorrow; for thee alone have we as a steadfast and sure confirmation, and we have acquired thine intercession; let not us that call upon thee be put to shame, O Mistress. Haste thou to answer the entreaty of those who cry out to thee with faith: Rejoice, thou help, joy and protection of all, and salvation of our souls!

All-glorious art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast established our fathers upon the earth as beacons, and hast thereby guided us all to the true Faith! O greatly Compassionate One, glory be to Thee! Once
