    The Strong captain of the ship,
    The distinguished fighter,
    The victorious in the wars,
    The luminous lamp
    -------------------------------------
    The leader of orthodoxy,
    Athanasius the apostolic,
    the instructor of the rational sheep of christ
    ---------------------------------------
    Your faithful teachings,
    pierced the hearts of the heretics,
    like a two edged sword
    through the power of the trinity
    ---------------------------------------
    Every knee worshipped the lord,
    And every tounge praised him
    his glory was announced
    And filled the face of the earth
    ---------------------------------------
    Wetherefore exalt you with david the prophet saying
    you are the priest forever,
    according to the order of Melchizedek,
    -----------------------------------------
    Hail to the great patriarch
    our holy father abba athanasius
    whose holy teachings
    enlightened our minds
    ------------------------------------------
    Blessed are you indeed,
    our holy father the patriarch
    Saint Athanasius the apostolic,
    The beloved of Christ,
    -------------------------------------------
    Tovh em epchois eehregoan,

    Hey guys, I am at school so i will answer and complete later when i get home..

    Basically, the doxology written now is a new creation that is not original in any way. My church is named after him, and we have been pn the search for his proper doxology, and after what seems like centuries of searching, we have found not 1 but 2 doxologies documented in manuscripts. I will go home, and post them on th9is website. While the one posted is not incorrect, i personally believe that if the correct one is available, i would use that.

    However,  our church used that one untill recently, and we even had made up a fake arabic one, that for some reason, the uncles are unable to abandon even though it sounds very corny and repetitive.

    -In the risen XC
    -Return Orthodoxy

    The doxology that i have seen for him is just exactly like the one for Saint Severus of Antioch....it literally just replaces the names.
