Tonight, we sing this magnificent canticle – the Akathist Hymn – in its entirety, in praise of our Παναγία, our Heavenly Champion.

Tonight, we join with Orthodox Christians around our country and around the world – beseeching the Holy Virgin to grant us spiritual victory, to grant us peace and to grant us relief from suffering.
