The Akathist of the Mother of God to the chosen voivode is victorious to read. Russian Orthodox Akathist to the Theotokos Rejoice, Bride

Unlike most akathists, which appeared mainly in the 19th-20th centuries, the akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos Rejoice, the Unbrideed Bride is one of the most ancient. According to legend, this is the first canonical akathist accepted in the Orthodox Church for execution, and this writing is associated with miraculous cases of the liberation of Constantinople from an enemy siege. Thanks to such a historical link, the researchers were able to accurately establish the time of writing the Virgin Akathist Bride Unbrided - it was born in the 9th century.

Akathist Rejoice, Bride Not Bride: Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos

The event, thanks to which the akathist to the Bride was first read, took place in 860. We are talking about the siege of Constantinople by the troops of the Persians and Scythians. The inhabitants of the doomed city prayed all night in the Blachernae Church, asking the Most Pure Virgin to save them from mortal danger, and a miracle happened - that same night a storm arose on the sea, destroying most of the enemy ships. The surviving soldiers retreated, and the believing population of Constantinople spent the rest of the night in the temple, where the Christian akathist to Our Lady Rejoice, Unbrideed Bride, sounded for the first time.

Sabbath Observance of the Akathist Hail, Unbrided

As history testifies, in honor of the miraculous liberation, it was decided to read the akathist Bride the Unbridened annually. At first it was a holiday of local importance, celebrated in the Blachernae Church - the place of storage of the Robe of the Most Holy Theotokos, but with the spread of Christianity, it was included in the liturgical books of all local churches.

Today, the akathist to the Theotokos the Bride of the Unmarried is sung on the fifth Saturday of Great Lent. The expression "The Bride Not Bride" refers to the miraculous essence of Mary, who, being a married Woman, preserved the virginity of the Virgin.
