St. Paisios of the Holy Mountain (+1994)
The Greek Religious News Site Romfea.gr posts that Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain (+1994) has been canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The official announcement from the Patriarchate is expected later today.
God is wondrous among His Saints! May we have his blessing!
Note: I include amateur translations of a few hymns below for those who wish to seek his intercessions. There are several services written to St. Paisios in Greek, and I will refrain from additional translations right now, for several reasons, but especially until we know which service will get the final approval.

The offspring of Farasa, and the
adornment of Athos, and the imitator of the former righteous, equal
in honor, O Paisios let us honor O faithful, the vessel full of
graces, who hastens speedily to those who cry out: glory to Him Who
gave you strength, glory to Him Who crowned you, glory to Him Who
grants through you healings for all.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth
Tone
The most-famed ascetic of the Holy
Mountain, and the newly-enlightened light of the Church, let us

towards a perfect life, filling them with rivers of gifts, therefore
we cry out: Hail, O Father Paisios.
