APOLYTIKION of St. Makarios Tone 1

As a citizen of the desert and an angel incarnate and a wonderworker you shone forth, O Makarios our God-bearing father.
Since you received the spiritual gifts by fasting and vigilance and
prayer, you can cure those who are ailing and heal the souls of
those who run to you with faith. Glory to Him who gave His
might to you; glory to Him who placed a crown on you; glory to
Him who
operates through you, providing cures to all.

O Blessed are you, O Christ our God, who by sending down the
Holy Spirit upon them, made the fishermen wise and through
them illumined the world. And unto you, the universe was ever
drawn, all glory to you, O God. (DLH, p. 115)
APOLYTIKION of our Church (St. Nicholas) Tone 4(DLH, p. 110)
As a yardstick of faith and an icon of gentleness; as a teacher of
temperance, your actual deeds have declared you as being among
your flock. In this manner you gained by humility, things most
sublime, and through poverty earned true wealth. Father and our
hierarch St. Nicholas intercede with Christ our God that our souls
may be saved.
KONTAKION of the feast of Hypapante Tone 1
The womb of a virgin you did hallow at your birth, and as it

our nation tangled in a war, and make firm our leaders whom
you dearly love, for you are the only lover of man.

communion, or by our sharing in the holiness of God which he
confers on us through the Spirit in baptism. Either sense is
consonant with the theology being proposed. Theodore of
Mopsuestia (Hom. 16, 22-23; c.420), expounds the same doctrine at
considerable length: The church herald cries: "Let us be
attentive!", and loudly prepares everyone to pay attention to what
is about to be said. The bishop exclaims: "The holy thing for the
holy ones," because this food is indeed holy and immortal, since
it is the body and blood of the Lord, and full of holiness because
the Holy Spirit has come down upon it. Not everyone partakes of
this food, but only those who have received the first fruits of the
Holy Spirit (Rom 8:23) in the rebirth of baptism, and thereby have
obtained the favor of receiving sanctification. ROBERT F. TAFT

Holy things are for the holy! As late as the end of the 4th c.,
some commentators still understood the "holy ones" in the
Pauline sense: they are the baptized, who are holy because they
have received the Holy Spirit. Cyril/John
II of Jerusalem (Cat. 5, 19; post 380), interprets the exclamation thus:
After these things, the priest says: "The holy things for the
holy!" Holy are the offered gifts, for they have received the
coming of the Holy Spirit. Holy are you also, who have been
deemed worthy of the Holy Spirit. So the holy things pertain to
the holy ones. Then you say: "One holy, one Lord, Jesus Christ."
For truly, [only] one [is] holy, holy by nature. As for us, if [we
are] holy too, it is not by
nature, but by partaking, and asceticism, and prayer. This can
mean by partaking () of the eucharistic
