Lamps of light appeared, / wisely left earthly kindness, / and went into the inner desert, Amphilochie, Macarius, Tarasie and Feodosie, / humility and all virtue you have grown old,/ and have acquired immortality,/ by fasting and vigil and other abstinence offering yourself to Christ,/ and now in Heaven you stand before the Throne of Christ./ Pray, fathers of God’s Wisdom, Amphilochie, Macarius, Tarasius and Theodosius, / pacify the world and be saved by the souls of those who sing to you, / and grant forgiveness of sins // to those who honor your honorable memory.
