At the Aposticha, these stichera idiomela, in Tone I—
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
O venerable father Anthony, assembling with love for thy memorial before thy most precious and wonderworking shrine, holding splendid festival and chanting with voices of song, we say like David: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, for he hath walked blamelessly in the ways of the Lord. Wherefore, dwelling with the venerable, entreat the Lord, that our souls find mercy.
Now & ever…: Theotokion, in the same tone—
Troparion, in Tone IV—
Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
Assembling today in memorial, O brethren, let us spiritually honor our venerable father Anthony, who, having laid waste to his body through fasting, caused the passions to wither through abstinence, purified his mind through the keeping of vigils, enlightened his soul with prayer, and through poverty acquired for himself in the heavens a treasure which cannot be stolen. Because of his obedience God hearkened unto him, and through purity he became the dwelling-place of the all-holy Spirit. For his sake Christ hath cast down the arrogance of the enemy, and He granteth us peace and great mercy.
Stichos: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. In His commandments shall He greatly rejoice.
O venerable and divinely blessed Anthony our father, having illumined thy mind with the grace of the Holy Spirit, and enlightened thy heart with the all-splendid rays which emanate from Him, thou truly becamest wholly radiant, and in every way didst vanquish the tempter. Wherefore, thou now joinest chorus with the angels and all the saints in the heavens. Remember us who on earth ever bless thee and honor thine all-holy repose.
Glory…, in Tone VIII—
We, the multitudes of the faithful, honor thee as our instructor, O Anthony our father; for by thy steps have we truly learned how to walk aright. Blessed art thou who, laboring for Christ, denounced the power of the enemy, O converser with the angels and companion of the venerable and the righteous. With them entreat the Lord, that our souls find mercy.
O unwedded Virgin who ineffably conceived God in the flesh, Mother of God Most High: Accept the entreaties of thy servants, O most immaculate one, granting unto all cleansing of transgressions; and, accepting now our supplications, pray thou that we all be saved.
Having forsaken Old Rome, thy homeland, thou didst float upon a stone, as upon a light boat, and thereon thou didst traverse the waters supernaturally, like one of the incorporeal ones, guided by the providence of the divine Mind. And thou didst reach Novgorod the Great; and having founded a monastery therein, thou didst leave thy body therein as a sanctified gift. Wherefore, we pray thee, O father Anthony: Entreat Christ God, that He save our souls. Twice
“Virgin Theotokos, rejoice!…”, once.
