Asemănndu-te obiceiurilor rvnitorului Ilie şi urmnd Botezătorului pe drepte cărări, Părinte Antonie, te-ai făcut locuitor pustiului şi ai ntărit lumea cu rugăciunile tale. Pentru aceasta, roagă-te lui Hristos Dumnezeu, să mntuiască sufletele noastre.
You imitated the ways of zealous Elijah, and followed the straight path of John the Baptist. You became a desert dweller and strengthened the world by your prayers. Father Anthony, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved. |

The politicians are basically using him as a scapegoat and they're using the fact that he went to Russia with the Holy Belt of the Theotokos as an excuse. The so called ‘Vatopedi scandal’ is nonexistent Presa Ortodoxă de limbă Greacă | | |
