Venerable Nikon “Metanoeite,” the Preacher of Repentance - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

(Podoben: “Thy confession of the Divine Faith...”)
Lakedaimon* rejoices, having the divine coffer of your relics, / which gush forth a fountain of healings, / and protect from afflictions all those who have recourse to you with faith, / O Venerable Father Nikon, / entreat Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.


* Pronounced Lah-keh-DAY-mon

Kontakion — Tone 6

(Podoben: “When thou hadst fulfilled Thy dispensation...” - The Kontakion for Ascension)
Emulating the life of the Angels, you regarded worldly pleasures as refuse, / showing us the path of repentance, O God-bearer and righteous Nikon; / therefore, now we celebrate your memory, / for truly you are a fountain of healings.
