Gather together, all you fathers of Athos,/ and celebrate with joy and gladness on this day:/ for the Mother of God is wonderfully praised by the Angel,/ and we magnify her/ as the Birthgiver of God.

Thou didst appear as a great sun to the world/ with miracles and rays of teachings./ Thou dost guide to the light/ all who venerate thee,/ O Bartholomew, Apostle of the Lord.

Thou wast the Lord's servant and the first of the Seventy,/ and thy preaching shone with Paul's./ Thou didst proclaim Christ the Savior to all,/ O Barnabas./ Wherefore we celebrate thy memory with hymns.
