Today the most glorious Veliky Novgrad shines brightly, / having your power in itself, St. John, / like the rays of the sun emitting / and giving healing to those who flow to the race your relics./ Praying to Christ God to deliver this city unharmed from barbarian captivity,/ and internecine warfare, and fiery burning,/ to the holy saint, God-wise and wonder-worker,/ Heavenly human and earthly Angel:/ may love come together in your memory,/ we celebrate brightly, rejoicing in songs and songs/ and glorifying Christ, who gave you such grace healings// and intercession and affirmation for Veliky Novugrad.
