The Virgin Mary: A Celebration of Our Faith
Handouts -- The Dogmatikon


The Dogmatikon

Let us sing the praise of the Virgin Mary,

The Glory of all the world!

She blossomed as the Flower of mankind

And brought forth the Master!

She is the Gate of Heaven;

She is the Song of the Bodiless Powers

And the Adornment of the faithful,

For she is revealed as the Heaven and Temple of the Divinity.

Breaking down the barrier of hostility,

She brought peace in its place and opened the Kingdom.

Holding firmly to her as the Anchor of the Faith,

As our Leader in battle we have the Lord Who was born of her.

Take courage, then! Take courage, O people of God!

For the One Who will battle our enemies is the almighty Lord.
