Elder Paisios Canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate!!!

  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.
  

Apolytikion in the First Tone

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 praise him with hymns with all our heart, for he leads the faithful towards a perfect life, filling them with rivers of gifts, therefore we cry out: Hail, O Father Paisios.

   Synaxarion

Paisios, the tree of Mount Athos,
