Does anyone know where I can find online the text of an akathist dedicated to St. John Chrysostom?

Dear Vito,

Here is the Slavonic text for the Akathist to St John Chrysostom?

I've also seen it online in Serbian and Roumanian, but not in English.

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Dear Vito, if you contact Reader Isaac Lambertsen through St. John of Kronstadt Press, www.sjkp.org [sjkp.org] he likely has an English copy of both the Canon and Akathist to St. John Chrysostom translated from the Slavonic Menaion. He never ceases to amaze me on his immense contributions to English translations from the riches of the Slavonic liturgical texts.

Dear Diak, Praise be to Jesus Christ!

Thank you so much for the information. I certainly will try to contact; especially if I cannot find anything online to download. No success thus far. Thanks again, Vito

Dear Vito,

If you positively can't live without it, I might consider doing an English translation for you.

If you ask me REALLY nicely, that is . . . smile

Dear Alex, Thanks so much for your generous offer. I think i found something that I can use at http://www.anastasis.org.uk/13%20nov.htm
Otherwise I might have resorted to sugar-coated verbiage requesting your assistance--lol. But seriously, mille grazie, and don't forget me---I may need help in the future!!! Vito

Vito, that gets you the Canon (from Matins). You could pray that as a Moleben anytime.

Fr. Ephrem Lash, who provides those translations, has done a marvelous job translating the Greek usage into English.

The Akathist might be a bit tougher to find; however if anyone has it is probably SJKP.
