Fr. Nicholas was familiar with German translations of Orthodox services and dogmatic papers, and he began translation of these works into English. In 1872, he published the English translation of ''Office for Admission and Reception of Converts into the Orthodox Eastern Church''. In 1873, he published Fr. Hatherly's (of London, England) translation of ''The Divine Liturgies of our Holy Fathers John Chrysostom and Basil the Great''. This translation had been approved by the Holy Synod. In 1876, he published his own translation of Fr, F. Basaroff’s ''Sacrament of Matrimony''.
Between November 1879 and October 1881, Fr. Nicholas published the ''The Oriental Church Magazine'', an English language quarterly, which presented numerous translations of the church services and other articles on religion, science, literature, and art, with the purpose of spreading knowledge about Orthodoxy.
