Troparian (Tone 4)
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith,
an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence;
your humility exalted you;
your poverty enriched you.
Hierarch Father Nicholas,
entreat Christ our God
that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion (Tone 3)
You revealed yourself, O saint, in Myra as a priest,
For you fulfilled the Gospel of Christ
By giving up your soul for your people,
And saving the innocent from death.
Therefore you are blessed as one become wise in the grace of God.

The Last Supper line drawing (PDF)

Author(s): Fr. John Matusiak

In this line drawing of the Last or Mystical Suppper Christ is the central figure. St. John the Beloved, the Evangelist, is to Christ's right. As the youngest of the disciples he is depicted without a beard. Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ is the third figure from Christ's left. He is dipping his hand into the dish (see Matthew 26:20-25).
