[[Troparion]] — Tone 4

In your manner a participant, / And in your throne a successor of the Apostles, / You discovered action an entrance into visions, / O inspired one of God. / Therefore directing the Word of truth, / You suffered for the faith even unto blood. / O Bishop and Martyr Nicander, pray to Christ God that our souls may be saved!
