Desiring heavenly things, / you hated earthly things / and, taking up your cross, you followed Christ / and from Him you received miracles, / to heal the sick; / but, as if you had the boldness to Holy Trinity,/ ask Orthodox Christians for health and salvation,/ for victory against enemies/ and do not forget, when you visit your children,/ who fall at your holy tomb,// Jacob, Reverend Our Father.
