Zealot of virtues, / desert dweller, / ascetic of the faith of Christ our God, / mortifying carnal lust through fasting and toil, / namesake of the great Anthony, / was jealous of his life You / and in his name you erected a Divine church, / together with him, Reverend Anthony, pray to the Savior of all, / that he may also create us conquerors of carnal lusts / and temples of the Holy Spirit, / / according the greatness of His mercy.
