Gate, Temple, Palace, and Throne: Theotokion after the Aposticha, Tone Five




A Lamp for Today show

Summary: This week we take a break from the dismissal hymns to the Theotokos, and consider the rich imagery of the hymn (in tone 5) to Mary after the Aposticha. Its symbols are illumined for us by the Psalter, Ezekiel 33-35, and Isaiah 6.
