O chosen leader of the warriors of Christ, beautiful adornment of the assembly of the Patriarchs of Moscow, and victorious standard-bearer of the martyrs of the Russian lands, we praise thine archpastoral podvig and with boldness we cry aloud to thee: Rejoice, O holy hierarch Tikhon, our God chosen Patriarch (Kondak 1).

At the meeting of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on March 20, 2025, a new version of the Akathist to St. Tikhon was approved for liturgical and private use. This Akathist was offered in connection with the 100th anniversary of the repose of St. Tikhon. With the Blessing of His Grace, Bishop Matthew, and in anticipation of the recent Convocation of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA, this Akathist was translated and edited by clerics of our Church.

Several commemorative copies of this Akathist were made available to the participants of the Convocation and, with the Blessing of His Grace, electronic versions are now being made available on our website. Many thanks to all who supported this work, particularly for the generous donation by St. Innocent of Irktusk parish in Redford, MI which allowed for the printing of the commemorative edition.
