I'll Come Speak

    I write and speak on all sorts of topics: ancient Christian spirituality and the Eastern Orthodox faith, the Jesus Prayer, marriage and family, the pro-life cause, cultural issues, and more. You can contact Cynthia Damaskos of the Orthodox Speakers Bureau if you’d like to bring me to an event. This Calendar will let you know when I’m in your neighborhood.

The Akathist [Annunciation] Hymn

of St Romanos the Melodist 

 

Oikos 1

An Archangel was sent from heaven to cry “Rejoice!” to the Theotokos; [1]

and, O Lord, as he saw you taking bodily form

at the sound of his bodiless voice,

he stood still in amazement [2]
