This beautiful, laminated holy card is imported from Italy
On the reverse of the card is the troparion:
"The sincerity of your deeds has revealed you to your people as a teacher of moderation, a model of faith, and an example of virtue. Therefore, you attained greatness through humility, and wealth through poverty. O Father and Archbishop Nicholas, ask Christ to save our souls."
What is a troparion? Troparion (also tropar; plural troparia) is a type of hymn in Byzantine music, in the Orthodox Church, Eastern Catholic churches and other Eastern Christian churches. It is a short hymn of one stanza, or one of a series of stanzas; this may carry the further connotation of a hymn interpolated between psalm verses.
The term most often refers to the apolytikion (or "dismissal hymn"), the thematic hymn which closes Vespers.
