From the earth was formed the body of Barsanuphius.
And he returned to the earth, to his own mother.

To place you here, the beloved teacher.

Tone Plagal First. "Ton synanarchon Logon."
Having lived a life equal to the angels, O Father Barsanuphios, together with John, you appeared as radiant stars of asceticism and guides of monastics toward the better path. Being full of divine light, you unceasingly intercede that our souls may be shown mercy.
