Prayers
Apolytikion: O faithful, let us honour Nektarios, Divine servant of Christ, offspring of Silivria and guardian of Aegina, who in these latter years was manifested as the true friend of virtue. All manner of healing wells forth for those who in piety cry out, “Glory to Christ Who Glorified you; Glory to Him Who, through you, wrought wonders; Glory to Him Who, through you, works healing for all”.
Kontakion: In joy, let our hearts praise the latest shining star of the Orthodox, the newly erected rampart of the Church. For, Glorified by the work of the Spirit, he abundantly pours forth the Grace of healing to those who cry out, “Hail, Father Nektarios”.
Hymn: What crowns of praise shall we place upon the Hierarch, he who lately shown forth and illumined the Church with the lamp of piety? The new adornment of the Orthodox, and equal in zeal to the former Arch-Priests. For by his way of life full of wisdom, he was Glorified by Christ, Who grants to all, through him, the great Mercy.
