Thou didst shine as a light of the Spirit,/ adorned with an exemplary life and clothed in hierarchical vesture./ Thou didst still the turbulence of heresy/ and become a pillar and foundation of the Church./ O holy Father Tarasios, she praises thy struggles.
Thou didst illumine the Church with Orthodox doctrines,/ and didst teach all to venerate and worship Christ's holy icon./ Thou didst expose the godless opinion of the iconoclasts./ Wherefore we cry to thee:/ Rejoice, wise Father Tarasios.
