Mount, father, the bright Mount of Athos preaches your exploits with Thessaloniki, and the whole Church of the Faithful, as God-given, honors you as the bearer of Light, even more than meaning, who enlightens you blatant:
Rejoice, God-bearing lips;
Rejoice, myrrh-bearing vessel.
Rejoice, organ of trisolar radiance;
Rejoice, perfect silence.
Rejoice, God-bright house of divine action;
Rejoice, inestimable wealth like those in Dus belly.
Rejoice, for you have received the divine gift;
Rejoice, for you have turned away Varlaam’s idle talk.
Rejoice, in whom Athos is magnified;
Rejoice, who drives away delusion.
Rejoice, bright Thessaloniki, glory;
Rejoice, strong power of Orthodoxy.
Rejoice, Father Gregory, preacher of grace.
