Rejoice, you who, through Holy Baptism, received divine grace;

Rejoice, for all your life you proved yourself worthy of the holy hierarch whose name you bore;

Rejoice, you who as a young man explored many holy places;

Rejoice, that you have drunk from the fountain of the Orthodox faith in abundance;

Rejoice, you who reached the Holy Sepulcher with piety;

Rejoice, because there with hot tears, of joy, you cried;

Rejoice, the one in the Lavra...
