The Achatist Hymn of the Holy Orthodox Eastern Church
No Customer Reviews
The Acathist Hymn is partly read and partly sung, all standing, none sitting (hence called ο ακάθιστος ύμνος), on the Saturday of the fifth week in Lent, immediately before the receiving of the holy Sacraments. It is also said, in part, on the previous Saturdays in Lent, to say nothing of its use in private. It was recited in honour of the repulse of the Saracens or Hagarenes from Constantinople in the reign of Heracleius, A.d. 616. Though generally attributed to Sergius, poet-patriarch of Constantinople (610-641), some have thought it the work of George of Pisidia, archivist of Sancta Sophia, under the same Heracleius. Remarkable alike for piety.
