Venerable Anthony, Abbot of Dymsk, Novgorod - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
You were a zealot of virtue, a desert dweller, and ascetic of faith in Christ our God, / and by fasting and labors you deadened carnal lusts. / O namesake of Anthony the Great, / you emulated his life and built a divine church in his name; / now together with the venerable Anthony, / beseech the Savior of all, / that He may make us victorious over the lusts of the flesh, / and temples of the Holy Spirit, / according to His great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 6
You were a peer and emulator of Venerable Barlaam, / and when you attained true obedience to him, you were shown to be worthy of him, / and you shepherded his flock until the time, / when having been zealous for his virtues, you attained the same age; / and loving silence, you were shown to be pleasing to the Lord, / and became the first Superior in the wilderness at Lake Dymsk; / therefore, we cry out to you: / “With Saint Barlaam, O Father Anthony, / entreat God for us, so He may grant us to please Him as you did, / an image of obedience and a zealot for stillness.”
