St Athanasius of Athos, Troparion, Tone III
Troparion - Tone III
The ranks of the angels marvelled at thy life in the flesh:/ how in the body thou didst go forth to wrestle with invisible foes, O ever-glorious one,/ and didst wound hordes of the demons./ Hence, O Athanasius, Christ hath bestowed rich gifts upon thee.// Wherefore, pray that our souls be saved, O father.
Kontakion, Tom VIII, "To the chosen..."
Kontakion
Thy flock, O divinely eloquent one, calleth upon thee as an excellent seer of immaterial beings/ and a most true and active interpreter./ Fail not to pray for thy servants, that thou mayest deliver from dangers and assaults// those who cry out to thee: Rejoice, O father Athanasius!
