As a second Elias, O Father, thou didst bring down rain from the heavens. For he brought down fire and awed the king, but thou didst gladden thy people and didst cause them to keep festival. Great Novgorod is thus greatly praised in thee, having thy relics in it. Do thou keep it unshaken from enemies that we may cry unto thee: Rejoice, O Righteous Barlaam, our father.
