Composed, most probably, in the year 532, this hymn to the Mother of God is to the Byzantine Church what the rosary and litanies of the Blessed Mother are to the Latin rite. In it Our Lady is praised in all the prefigurations of the Old Testament.
Archbishop Joseph Raya reminds us in his presentation that “the Acathist Hymn … always brings us back to theological truth … that Mary is great because she is the Mother of God, the bridge between heaven and earth, for her intercession is all-powerful with God, her Son.”
