TROPARION
Holy Martyr Nicephorus, Troparion, Tone IV —
In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Nicephorus received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By his supplications save Thou our souls.
Kontakion, of the Martyr, Tone I "The choir of the angels" —
Bound by the bond of love, O Nicephorus, thou didst manifestly destroy the malice of hatred, and wast beheaded by the sword, as a divine martyr of the incarnate Savior. Him do thou entreat, in behalf of us who hymn thy glorious memory.
And this Kontakion, Tone III "Today the Virgin" —
Soaring aloft in the love of the Lord, O glorious one,/ and taking His glorious Cross upon thy shoulder,/ thou didst put to shame the wiles of the devil,/ didst suffer even unto death,/ and hast been shown to be a bearer of the trophy of truth,// a warrior and initiate of the mysteries of the grace of God.
