ST JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

Troparion Tone 2
Noble Joseph took Thine immaculate Body down from the tree,/ wrapped It in a clean shroud and spices,/ and having embalmed It, laid It in a new sepulcher./ But on the third day Thou didst rise, O Lord,/ granting the world great mercy.

Kontakion Tone 2
Joseph of Arimathea took Thee, the Life of all, down from the Tree as one dead,/ and wrapped Thee in clean linen and spices./ He yearned to embrace and kiss Thy pure Body with heart and lips/ yet he restrained himself with fear./ He cried to Thee rejoicing:/ Glory to Thy condescension, O Lover of Mankind.

[Apologitis]

Longinus (the centurion that confessed Christ when He died), Cornelius (the centurion baptized by St. Peter), Procla the wife of Pilate, Mary Magdalene, Martha and Mary and other lesser known NT figures are also saints. What about Nicodemus?
