Venerable Anthony the Roman and Abbot of Novgorod

Troparion — Tone 4

Leaving old Rome, your fatherland, / you mounted a rock, as if it were a swift ship. / On it you crossed the sea like one without a body, / above the laws of nature, guided by the reasoning of the Divine Mind. / You reached Great Novgorod and established a monastery, / in which you left your body as a sanctified gift. / Therefore, we entreat you, Father Antony: / "Pray to Christ God, / that He may save our souls."

Kontakion — Tone 8

(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
You were raised in Rome, and blossomed gracefully in Great Novgorod, / where you pleased God by your many labors and struggles. / Therefore, you received from Him the gift of working miracles, / and your body was preserved incorrupt for many years. / As we kiss it, we cry joyfully to you from our souls: "Hail, Father Anthony."
