Monastic Martyr Anthony of Kareotis - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

In you, O Father, was preserved with exactness what was according to the image; / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; / but to care for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Anthony, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Let us fittingly extol the all-praised Anthony with hymns as a devout and experienced faster, / as an honorable and voluntary martyr, / and as one who led an eremitic life in the desert, / for he has trampled the serpent underfoot.
