O you who love the festivals, Come gather and sing the praises - TopicsExpress

O you who love the festivals, Come gather and sing the praises of the fair beauty of bishops, The glory of the fathers, The fountain of wonders and great protector of the faithful. Let us all say: Rejoice, O guardian of the people of Myra, Their head and honored counselor, The pillar of the Church which cannot be shaken. Rejoice, O light full of brightness, That makes the ends of the world shine with wonders. Rejoice, O divine delight of the afflicted, The fervent advocate of those who suffer from injustice. And now, O all-blessed Nicholas, Never cease praying to Christ our God For those who honor the festival of your memory With faith and love.
