The path that introduces you into life,/ you were a mentor, and the first altar, and a teacher:/ first of all, when you came to Saint Savvo,/ you enlightened your fatherland/ and, giving birth to it with the Holy Spirit,/ like an olive tree,/ you planted your all-sanctified children in a mental paradise./ Thus, as an apostle and a saint with the throne/ Honoring you, we pray: / pray to Christ God / to grant us great mercy.
