"What crowns of praise shall we place upon the Hierarch..."

St. Nektarios the Wonderworker (source)

What crowns of praise shall we place upon the Hierarch, he who lately shown forth and illumined the Church with the lamp of piety? The new adornment of the Orthodox, and equal in zeal to the former Arch-priests. For by his way of life full of wisdom, he was glorified by Christ, Who grants to all, through him, the great mercy.

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
