New Zion has appeared as the Holy Mountain of Athos, where from the east, north, and south have come the spiritual children, blessing the Lord in songs of praise: for behold, the splendid assembly of the holy fathers who lived sanctified on Athos gathers us today to honor their struggles and labors and to cry out to them thus:
Rejoice, glorious beloved of God, having amazed the Angels by the greatness of your struggles.
Rejoice, most glorious wonderworkers, aiding mankind in distress and sorrow.
Rejoice, gracious blossoming of the wilderness of Athos.
Rejoice, spiritual beauty and joy of the Holy Orthodox Church.
Rejoice, earnest intercessors for our joy and eternal glory.
Rejoice, swift fulfillers of our good desires.
Rejoice, holy fathers of Athos, earnest intercessors for our souls.
