St. Anthony the Great, Troparion, Tone IV —
Emulating the demeanor of the zealous Elijah, and following the Baptist with
forthright steps, O father Anthony, thou wast a dweller in the desert, and hast
made the whole world steadfast by thy supplications. Wherefore, entreat Christ
God, that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, Tone II, "Seeking the highest" —
Having cast off the tumults of life, thou didst live a life of stillness to
the end, emulating the Baptist in every way, O all-venerable one. Wherefore, we
honor thee with him, O Anthony, first among the fathers.
