Irmos: Pharaoh’s chariot immersed / sometimes working wonders / Moses’ rod, striking in the form of a cross / and dividing the sea, / Israel’s fugitive, saving the pedestrian, / chanting the song of God.
Reverend Father Athanasius, pray to God for us.
Having become the name of immortality, / life having ended, you appeared to the true one, Father Athanasius, / immortality’s friend, having passed away from the temporal, // but, standing before Christ, remember us, those who remember you.
Reverend Father Athanasius, pray to God for us.
Pious from the former soft nails, reverend, / to the virtue of acquiring parents, deprivation was in no way prohibited, / / but you turned all your desire with all your strength and diligence to the one Creator.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
From the evil walls, I boldly sing praise to you,/ I have become the recipient of your desires and an ally of love, // but, Father, be merciful and let me bring you this praise according to your inheritance.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
You, the Ancient of Days, gave birth to Your Childhood, more than words, / showing a new path of virtue on earth, / His saint, Your dear friend Athanasius, the Youth, / love We are consumed, I have created this church for You.
