Menologion

Prophetologion: Readings for Vespers of St Antony the Great.


Troparion of St. Anthony the Great Tone 4

Thou didst follow the ways of zealous Elijah,/ and the straight path of the Baptist, O Father Anthony./ Thou didst become a desert dweller/ and support the world by thy prayers./ Intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

Troparion of St. George of Ioannina Tone 5

Let us praise George, Christ's Martyr,/ Ioannina's boast and protector./ For he contested steadfastly and conquered the enemy in power of the spirit./ He now intercedes unceasingly that our souls may find mercy.

Kontakion of St. Anthony the Great Tone 2

Thou didst abandon the world's tumult and live in silence,/ and emulate the Baptist, O Anthony./ Wherefore we acclaim thee with him,/ thou summit of the Fathers.

20th c. Greek icon

Kontakion of St. George of Ioannina Tone 4

O George, the city of Ioannina/ rejoices that through thy contest/ it possesses the treasure of thy relics.
