Troparion - Behold the Bridegroom Comes (Fr. Apostolos Hill)

By Raising Lazarus - Palm Sunday Apolytikion 1st Mode

The Akathist Hymn is a Service of the Orthodox Church that invites the faithful to rejoice in the unique and sublime role the Virgin Mary played in the salvation of mankind.

The Divine Incarnation is at the heart of this glorious telling in the form of hymns and prose, for it in the Virgin's own womb that God became man. In extolling the Blessed Virgin, the Church is fulfilling the Scriptures of her own prophesy which states that "henceforth all generations shall call me blessed" (Lk. 1:48), and in the words of the inspired Elizabeth, "blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." (Lk. 1:42). May we stand with the Angel Gabriel, who was sent from heaven to proclaim the Good Tidings to the young Virgin.

The Akathist Hymn

It Is Truly Meet

Throughout our Christian history, no woman has been more loved, more lauded, and more cherished than the blessed virgin Mary. She herself foretold it: " For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed."(Luke 1:48) In the beautiful poetic-hymnography which is characteristic of Byzantine Chant in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Theotokos, the Mother of God is honored and esteemed for her unique role in the salvation of the human race. During the Paraklesis Service, we ask the Most Holy Theotokos to save us just as those drowning reach out to those on dry land.
