O venerable father Nicephorus the Leper, your struggles and courageous asceticism dumbfounded the heaven's angels. Like another Job in pain, you endured and gave glory to God. And so, he arranged for you a resplendent crown of miracles. Rejoice, O guide of monastics! Rejoice, O prism of light! Rejoice, O delightful fragrance radiating from your relics!
