Irmos: Grant me a robe of light, O Thou Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, O most merciful Christ our God.
Sessional hymn, in Tone VIII: Spec. Mel.: “Of the Wisdom…” —
The weakness of thy nature in nowise affected the recompense which thou didst receive for the pangs of thy suffering, O venerable Athanasia.
Theotokion: We now offer thee the cry of Gabriel, O Maiden, crying out to thee: Rejoice! The Lord is with thee, O blessed one!
Manifestly changing thy raiment, thou didst conceal thy nature; wherefore, without wavering thou didst reach the end of the path of salvation.
Recognizing thy husband as a wanderer, thou didst follow him, in nowise uttering a word of conversation to him.
Taking the easy yoke of the Lord upon thy shoulders with all thy soul, thou didst follow after Him, O God-bearing Andronicus, and didst thoroughly reject the tumult of the world, zealously making thine abode in the desert, where thou didst blamelessly finish the race of asceticism, O blessed father, uniting thyself to God. Wherefore, we cry out to thee: Entreat Christ God, that He grant remission of sins unto those who with love honor thy holy memory.
