Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

What does NIKA mean?

NIKA (Νικᾷ) is Greek for "conquers" or "is victorious." It's a monogram often found on Orthodox iconography depicting Jesus Christ, often accompanied by similiar Greek monograms for "Jesus" (IC = ΙΗΣΟΥΣ) and "Christ" (XC = ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ). All these together form a "Christogram," with the meaning "Jesus Christ Conquers," pointing to His trampling down of death by His own sacrificial death on the cross and the freeing of all humanity from everlasting enslavement to death.
