At the First Council, you appeared as a champion and wonderworker,/ to God-bearing Spyridon, our father./ Moreover, you cried out to the dead in the tomb,/ and you turned the serpent into gold,/ and forever I sang holy prayers to you/ You had the angels concelebrating with you, the Most Holy One./ Glory to Him who gave you strength,/ glory to Him who crowned you,// glory to Him who brings healing to all through you.
Vulnered by the love of Christ, most sacred,/ your mind fixed on the dawn of the Spirit,/ through your diligent vision you found your deed, O God-accepting,/ the Divine altar became,// asking for the Divine to all radiance.

At the First Ecumenical Council, he performed a miracle, disgracing Arius - he divided the plinth brick into fire, water and clay, and thereby proved the trinity of the Divinity.
