Troparion

In you the image was preserved with exactness, O Father,
for taking up your cross, you followed after Christ.
By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away,
but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal.
Therefore, most venerable Father Anthimus your spirit rejoices with the Angels.

(Podoben: “Seeking the Highest...”)
Having divinely armed thyself with the purity of thy soul
and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a
spear,
thou, our Father Anthimus, have slain the armies of the demons.
Therefore, pray unceasingly for us all.
