Conception of the Theotokos - December 9, 2020

Apolytikion of Conception of the Theotokos

Against all hope, the bonds of barrenness are loosed today. For, God has hearkened unto Joachim and Anna clearly promising that they would bear a godly maiden. He who commanded the angel to cry out to her, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you," will be born of her, the infinite One Himself, becoming man.

Father Peter Kostakis offers the homily.
