The luminary of the Invincible Light appeared to our country, O blessed one, valiantly enduring the enemy’s bitterness: beatings and wounds, like a garment of incorruptibility, were imputed to you: but you took on beasts, and received perforations from evil men, you prayed for them, saying: do not put this sin on them. In the same way, you have become like the Lord Christ, our worthy Nikandra, our father: pray for our souls.
