Troparion
O golden-tongued preacher proclaiming the risen Christ,
everlasting guide of the cross-bearing Serbian people,
resounding harp of the Holy Spirit, and dear to monastics who rejoice in you,
pride and boast of the priesthood, teacher of repentance, master for all nations,
guide of those in the army of Christ as they pray to God,
Holy Nikolai teacher in America and pride of the Serbian people,
with all the saints, implore the only Lover of mankind
to grant us peace and joy in his heavenly kingdom!
Kontakion
Born at Lelich in Serbia,
you served as archpastor at the church of Saint Nahum in Ochrid.
You presided on the throne of Saint Savva at Zhicha,
teaching the people of God and enlightening them with the Gospel,
bringing them to repentance and love for Christ.
And for His sake you endured suffering at Dachau.
Therefore, Nicholai, we glorify you as one newly well pleasing to God.
