Our Virgin Mary!

After the Holy Trinity and Its central surroundings, where everything is fulfilled by Its glory there is our Virgin Mary! The Untainted, Mostly Blessed, Our Lady and Everlasting Theotokos Mary!
Our Virgin Mary is the perfect woman who advocates with straight honesty to merciful God and becomes the bridge of blessing between our requests and prosperity of His will!
Since I was a little kid I was going to my village’s church to listen to the “The hail Mary’s prayer” of our Virgin Mary, the eternal words and amazing melodies combined with the fragrances of spring, as though the spring borrowed its fragrances from the myrrhs of the Mother of God! So, like a child’s oblation I have the desire ever since to chant and write down/record the Akathist Hymn of our sweet Virgin Mary as of this blessed time has come! Here is where Panagnos Kori (Virgin Daughter) navigates me to praise Her through the holy services!
I love Her very much! I feel Her comforting presence vividly in my life, She is my Mother! She is the Mother to all of us! She contains the wide range and depth of the motherhood of our beings since through Her our God was incarnated!!! And therefore so His secret wisdom with us as His intent and our repentance was applied!
I’m offering you this work of mine by depositing it gently to you with my imperfect hands in the center of your hearts, instead of a gift through the eternity for all the goods and worthily that belong to us…
Studying the life of Theotokos I got very emotional, conscious and I just realizing my soul in relation to the existence of Her radiant soul, I was taken by the fragrant of Her personality, I burst and I alter internally when Her perpetual glory visits me, my being gets shattered when I’m thinking in reference to our Holy Fathers of our church who are referring to our Theotokos when She was transferred to the marble floors of Her home at Sion in Jerusalem, where She stayed until her dormition where potholes were formed from Her kneelings…! This was a strong sign of Her consistent humility all the way to Her last breath in this world, being, after God the man the most perfect human existed on our earth!
I’m getting lost when I realize the holy thanksgiving I owned Her…Oh my kind Mother stand for, stand for my Virgin Mary, a ray of my God’s hope!
Everything is focused in the Good and in His source, therefore the audition of the church services becomes a bridge towards God and is been built, pebble by pebble through the extract of figuration of the good of our souls, that good we bypassed and refused it with our choice of bad in our lives.
Come on, now, and with our Virgin Mary as our leader to find again the way to our relocation in Paradise! In the place of the inconceivable and invisible God, where – and only there – it’s worth to direct our attention and our action.

Let’s not forget that God is waiting for us all again to be close to Him and Virgin Mary looked after us with Her merit and all about His blessed will, the opening warm channels towards the immediate and wider audition of our requests.

Everything in heaven has the perfect harmony. This work of ours is giving us the opportunity to close our eyes and to listen faintly or intensely, according to our heart’s desire, like the sound the unsound and the motion the motionless will be giving us the opportunity through their finite counterpart existence on the earth, to find the wonderful and omniscient ways of our relationship with our Being, that Being that made me and yet always is Us…
Rejoice, fiery pillar
Rejoice, roof of the world
Rejoice, the gate of Christ’s kingdom
Rejoice, smell of Christ’s fragrant
Rejoice, the Church’s unmoving tower
Rejoice, the kingdom of the impregnable wall
Rejoice, rose the amaranth
Rejoice, O Bride unwedded.


With joy of the heavenly spring,
