A Prayer
Apolytikion in the First Tone: Most noble and sublime was your life and death, O Sovereigns; wise Nicholas and blest Alexandra, we praise you, acclaiming your piety, meekness, faith, and humility, whereby you attained to Crowns of Glory in Christ our God, with your five renowned and Godly children of Blessed fame.

I never knew I was able to reach such heights of religious ecstasy as this Lent has brought me to.” – Saint Tsar Nicholas II
