Exapostilarion, in Tone V—
Irmos: Saved by thee, O pure Virgin, we confess thee to be in truth the Theotokos, magnifying thee with the incorporeal choirs.
Glory..., Now & ever...: Exapostilarion from the Pentecostarion.
Embodying the mystery of the age to come, thou didst sojourn in the quietude of Mount Sinai, O venerable one, attending in thy heart unto the voice of God alone. Wherefore, we honor thee, O thou that art exceeding great.
Theotokion: O all-immaculate Mother of God, most blessed Mary, at a loss how to praise thee as is meet, we magnify thee with heartfelt love and reverence.
If thou hast departed from us in the flesh, O Anastasius our father, yet in thy spirit dost thou remain with us who magnify thee with love.
Do thou now fall prostrate before Christ God, with Whom thou wast crucified and didst rise again, O thrice-blessed father, entreating Him, that thy servants obtain resurrection of life, that we may magnify Him in His Kingdom.
Lo! the day of radiant festivity now hath dawned! Come ye all, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, which doth not breathe fire and terrify with thunder, but is overshadowed by the still, small voice and resoundeth with hymns and spiritual songs. Come ye, let us enter the holy gates and form one chorus with the multitude of monks, ever blessing the great instructor, the radiant adornment of the mountain and monastery of Sinai, the most wondrous and divinely wise Anastasius, mighty intercessor for the world.
