"For Mary, the first to receive Christ, the Virgin Mother who became the prototype of what we are all to be, has always been honored by the Orthodox Church - especially so in her worship and prayer services. In the papers from which this booklet has been drawn, Father Schmemann deals with these matters in a sensitive and devoted manner, drawing out the basic truths with great clarity." - Introduction.
