Vitii of the vanity of humanity, declaring the violence of being, spiritual asceticism, putting to shame your exploits and miracles, our reverend fathers Athos: who will not be touched by seeing, As you have neglected everything earthly, you have striven with all your soul to the Heavenly Ones, and even as you seek, you have achieved the most luminous sight of Christ. For this reason we praise you:
Rejoice, holy language, royal sanctification, people of renewal.
Rejoice, spiritual salt of all the earth, which will not overcome you forever.
Rejoice, proclaimers of the righteousness of Christ, who came out from the world to serve God.
Rejoice, you have been called from every generation into the sweet work of the Lord.
Rejoice, you who have lifted a good yoke upon all and followed the Lord Christ sincerely.
Rejoice, having received eternal rest for your souls in heaven from Christ the Hero.
Rejoice, reverend fathers of Athos, for the zeal for the souls of our prayer books.
