At the Aposticha, Glory..., in Tone VI: Spec. Mel: “Having set all aside...”—

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Having set aside all the tumult of this vain life, thou didst choose the quietude of Mount Sinai, and there struggling, thou didst show thyself to be a true beholder of God, a genuine preacher of the law of Christ, and an engraver thereof in the hearts of the faithful, a guide to the heavenly kingdom; wherefore, multitudes of monks and assemblies of the Orthodox gathering together today keep festival, blessing thy memory, O Anastasius, our father.

¶2

Troparion, in Tone VIII—

¶3

In thee, O father, that which is fashioned according to the image of God was preserved; for, having taken up thy cross, thou didst follow Christ, and by thine example didst teach that the flesh is to be disdained as transitory, but that the soul must be cared for as a thing immortal. Wherefore, thy spirit doth rejoice with the angels, O venerable Anastasius.
