About our venerable fathers Athos, God-given intercessor and protector, you are in heaven, we are down on earth, removed from you not only by place, but by sinful impurity ours, we both dare to bring you this little song of praise, and we pray and ask you for one thing: beg the Savior Christ to save us from eternal torment and make us worthy of the kingdom of Heaven, yes with you we will sing to Him forever: Alleluia.
