An Ancient Hymn to Mary

ODE IN HONOR OF THE HOLY IMMACULATE MOST BLESSED GLORIOUS LADY MOTHER OF GOD AND EVER VIRGIN MARY.

The Akathist Hymn in praise of our Lady was written on the occasion of the deliverance of Constantinople from the Barbarians in 626 A.D. It is here presented with historical and liturgical notes. This ancient devotion is a profoundly moving prayer from the Christian East and part of the patrimony of the Universal Church.

In his preface to his translation Fr. Vincent McNabb writes:

“No apology is needed for introducing the Akathist to the Christian West. Indeed, the West might be apologetic about its neglect or ignorance of such a liturgical and literary masterpiece.”

Beautiful Book

Blessed by this book

Ti Ipermaho

Just opened the book after it was blessed, ad I could get a tone of the first kontakion rang in my mind.

Price Point a bit High

I am more “ecumenical” than most Trads, & I liked that a Catholic outlet had printed this prayer. I had already bought a small book with this same prayer from an Orthodox store in recent years. I’ve been pleased with all my Angelus Press calendars & Large-print titles. But I feel the price point for this one is a little high, especially after adding shipping charges.

Thanks

Thank you for reprinting this worthwhile title

Mother Mary

An awesome new prayer for me always like to learn always love to pray and love our holy mother
