Hieromonk Anthimus the Athonite, “Fool for Christ” - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
In you the image was preserved with exactness, O Father, / for taking up your cross, you followed after Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away, / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, most venerable Father Anthimus your spirit rejoices with the Angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “Seeking the Highest...”)
Having divinely armed thyself with the purity of thy soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a
spear, / thou, our Father Anthimus, have slain the armies of the demons. / Therefore, pray unceasingly for us all.
