Thou hast appeared in the desert through good vegetation, / Reverend Father, / from youth, for thou hast deigned to live a pure life, / following the spiritual teacher, / and, by that teaching, thy mind is directed to the Heavenly Ones first, / you moved into the desert, / and you created an abode in it, / and you appeared to your flock as a wise mentor, / to the great Novograd praise and affirmation: / the same with Christ, Like a bright lamp, / enrich your miracles and glorify you. / Xenophon, our father, / pray to Christ God to save our souls.
