Ven. Anthony of Iezeru-Vâlcea Skete - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
O bearer of the divine gift of unceasing prayer, / Holy Father Anthony the New, / instructor of monks, helper of those in need, and wonderworker, / dweller in Heaven on high, but not separated from those below; / entreat the Merciful God to grant us peace and great mercy.
Troparion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word...”)
With the streams of your tears, you cultivated the barrenness of the desert, / and by your sighings from the depths, your labors bore fruit a hundredfold, / and you became a luminary of the world, radiant with miracles, / O Anthony our Father. Intercede with Christ God for the salvation of our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights... ”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you have slain the armies of the demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Father Anthony: / “Always intercede for those who honor you.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
The Church knows you as a bright sun, adorned with good deeds, / and with rays of healings you enlighten all, as a servant of Christ. / Therefore, we celebrate the Feast of your all-laudable remembrance and honor your ascetical struggles, / O Most Venerable Father Anthony.
