Кондак преподобномученика Анастасия, диакона Печерского, в Ближних пещерах, глас 8
Постническим плоти твоей умерщвлением/ душу оживил еси,/ ибо твоего ради презельнаго воздержания/ и привременнаго терпения,/ жизнь непреемная и диадима неувядаемая/ от пострадавшаго за ны плотию/ и из мертвых воскресшаго Христа Бога нашего,/ тебе, святе, преподобномучениче Анастасие,/ яко злочестивых победителю/ несумненно и воистинну уготовася,/ занеже Божие тридневное Воскресение/ всем, живущим на земли,/ тобою, якоже иногда от отроков Ефесских православно воспроповедася,/ и сего ради, отче, днесь к тебе вси вопием немолчно:/ святый преподобномучениче Анастасие Печерский,/ моли прилежно воставшаго Христа тридневно из мертвых,/ да избавит от смерти вечныя души наша.
