At the Aposticha, Glory..., in Tone III —
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
Be glad, ye desert-dwellers! Rejoice, ye venerable! Sing with the angels, ye righteous! Hold festival, ye monks and laymen! And exult in spirit, O great Anthony, beholding thy disciple exalted by God: Paul, wondrous in boldness, a mighty intercessor for the world.
Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: "Great is the power of Thy Cross..." —
Troparion, in Tone VIII —
A sword pierced thy heart, O all-pure one, when thou didst behold thy Son upon the Cross; and thou didst cry out: “Show me not to be childless, O my Son and God, Who didst keep me a virgin even after I gave birth!”
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 after 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 Paul.
