Blessed Nicholas (Salos) of Pskov the Fool-For-Christ - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

According to the flesh, the Holy Fool was a Slav from the land of Pskov; / yet by feigning foolishness, he was shown as a glorified citizen of the Heavenly Jerusalem, 1 / rejoicing with the Angels; / he was named for the myrrh-streaming Hierarch Nicholas, / with whom he always prays to Christ God to grant us great mercy.


1 Hebrews 12:22

Kontakion — Tone 8

You were revealed as a wonderworker, O Nicholas, / when you turned the Tsar's power from wrath to mercy, / and so a fervent intercessor has appeared in our land. / Now we entreat you, O Saint: “Remain with us once more and protect us from the wiles of the Enemy; / for you are the glory and affirmation of the city of Pskov and of all those who love Christ.”
