Like a desert-loving turtledove, / having retired from the vain and turbulent world into the desert, / through purity and fasting, prayers and labor, / you glorified God in your soul and body. / And Having lived such a pious life, / you appeared, like Venerable Gennady, the adornment of the Lyubimograd desert, / a monk of an honest life, / and a warm prayer book for all, / / who flow to you with by faith.
