Prayer to Theotokos in Greek

Ώ Δέσποινα, Θεόνυμφε Κόρη, Άλοχε Μήτηρ, Απείρανδρε Τροφέ τού Θεού Λόγου, θαύμα υπερφυέστατον φύσεως, ουράνιε σκηνή τού Υψίστου, υπέρτατέ της αρετής κορυφή, άπλετον πέλαγος τού ελέους, ανεξάντλητον πέλαγος τής ευσπλαχνίας, βάθος δυσθεώρητον μυστηρίων δυσλήπτων, δοχείον θεοτευκτον τού υπερουσίου προβλήματος, Πανύμνητε Θεοτόκε Μαρία, επάκουσον ημών τών οικτρών δεομένων σου καί η καθαρότης τής ακηράτου παρθενίας σου άς καθαρίση τάς εσπιλωμένας ημών ψυχάς, ο άφθορος καί σωτήριος τόκος σου... μή αποξενώση τήν σωτηρίαν από τούς λατρευτάς σου, τήν οποίαν αυτήν σωτηρίαν εβράβευσε πλουσίως εις τήν άπειρον πληθύν τών πιστώς αυτόν προσκυνούντων.



Παρακαλούμεν εκτενώς, ώ Δέσποινα Θεονυμφε, σκέπε, φρούρει καί διαφύλαττε ημάς τούς ευτελείς οικέτας σου καί πάντας τούς Ορθοδόξους χριστιανούς, τούς μετ’ ευλαβείας προσκυνούντας καί ασπαζομένους τόν ιερό χαρακτήρα τής πανσέπτου εικόνος ταύτης, δί’ αισθητών μέν χειλέων εδώ εις τήν γήν καί διά νοητών εσένα τήν Υπερευλογημένην Μητέρα τού Μονογενούς Υιού τού Θεού εις τούς ουρανούς. Όθεν καί εκ μέρους πάντων σου δεόμεθα καί σέ παρακαλούμεν νά διατηρής άβλαβον καί ανωτέραν τών εναντίων εχθρών τήν σήν ποίμνην καί κληρούχους πάντας αναδείξον τής δόξης τού αφθόρου σου τόκου καί τής γλυκείας αυτού ελλάμψεως καταξίωσον. Μεθ’ ου τώ Πατρί δόξα, τιμή καί μεγαλοπρέπεια σύν τώ αγίω Πνεύματι εις τούς αιώνας τών αιώνων. Αμήν.

The Symbolism of Objects Held by Saints in Byzantine Iconography

In this article you will read about the symbolism of various objects in Byzantine Iconography, such as the cross and the Church held by the Saints, the open palms, the Gospel, the scrolls, the rod, medical objects, as well as the choices of colors. Orthodox hagiography reveals to Christians the unearthly, which transcends the boundaries of our physical world. It functions as a way of communication and seeks to highlight the new world that will come with the Kingdom of God. This can be expressed through the icons of the Saints, where characteristics such as schematization, simplicity and differentiation prevail.

Elder Joseph the Hesychast

Elder Joseph the Hesychast or Spileot was born in 1898 in the village of Lefkes on the Paros Island in Greece. He had been chosen to serve God since he was in his mother’s womb. He lost his father when he was very young, and his mother, who was very pious, took care of his education. Since his family was very poor, the young Frances, (that was his name before he took monastic vows), had to labour from a very early age in order to provide the necessary things for the survival of his family.
