- I finally decided to spend an entire day putting this together, and I'm happy with the final product. I had nothing to do with the original audio (which was on another UA-cam video), but the original had some issues with cutting off. I attempted to fix that here, as well as add lyrics and images related to each verse.
Pray for Christian unity
Here's the original video: • The Akathist to the Th...
Oh glorious Theotokos, pray for us sinners and the reunification of the east and west
If the west becomes Orthodox we can unify otherwise we still pray for the misled Catholics to come back home.
@@Kalumubotia Or the other way around...Hardness of heart prevents the Lord's prayer for unity from becoming a reality.
This is so beautiful! And guess what? It doesn’t matter whether you are Orthodox, Roman Catholic or other…it’s STILL beautiful and draws us to the Theotokos. Oh, Glorious Theotokos - pray for us, your children!☦️
Beautiful. All glory to our lord. Amen
Praise the Lord
Thank you so much for the Akathist to the Theotokos. It helps me to express my devotion to the Mother of God. Thanks.
Most Holy Theotokos save us Amen
lmao you also have the stop tinnitus thing
I think tinnitus is her voice
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
Thank you for putting this together 🙏
That was very beautiful, to say the least! Praise God!
Amen!
Thank you ☦️🙏💕
Beautiful. 🕊
Merci! God bless you!
Amin!!! Forgive us God for our sins and for not loving your son as we should've
When is this sung? Is it part of the daily prayer or what? This is so beautiful
Beautiful ❤
Thank you✝️✝️✝️
amen
I am catholic but I love ortodox icons aswell
❤
Is this Russian Tone? Or more a Franciscan?
The only problem with this video is all the western, Renaissance and Roman Catholic pictures. This is the Orthodox akathist, so Orthodox iconography should have been used.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but this isn't solely Orthodox. This is shared by Orthodox and Catholics alike
Catholics listen to this Akathist too. People like yourself are why our churches haven't reunited yet. We are brothers, act like it.
Edit - lol @ how mad the Ortho boys are. Always the Orthodox acting like insolent children.
@@JuliusCaesar888 No, we are not brothers. Roman Catholics are heretics. The churches haven't united because the leaders are incompetent, and Roman Catholics refuse to repent and convert to true Orthodoxy.
They belong to all of us. If you want an orthodox iconography version, you should make it - I’d love to see one!
I agree with you. I am a convert to the Orthodox Church from Roman Catholicism. I have nothing against Renaissance paintings, but when I look at the baroque naked angels, I get sick to my stomach. Is there a connection with pedophile clerics who ordered such things to be painted?
Here is the same music with the correct iconography.

You mean the one I put in the description?
They are not identical. You'll notice in the original, it cuts off a lot. I fixed that in this version, and was the main reason I set out to make it. I wanted to make a version that didn't take me out of it every once in awhile, but rather that remained fairly consistent throughout
One thing regarding your comment about "correct" iconography, I direct your attention to the beginning portion of the Second Nicaean Council. On papalencyclicals.net, they title this area "Definitions". In this part of the council, which declared that Icons must be accepted, they do not specify "icons written in the Byzantine style, following only a specific pattern." No, they say imagery that DEPICTS Christ and the saints, of various forms.
If your comment was not an attack on western iconography, but rather a belief that an eastern akathist should be presented with eastern imagery, then forgive me. There have been people on multiple videos claiming that there is something inherently wrong with western iconography, and I want to help put that idea to rest once and for all. As for eastern works being presented with eastern works, my purpose is to try and bring us together, which is why I use a mixture if iconographic styles.
There is no "correct" iconography. The Orthodox Church accepts both the Eastern and the Western Rites, with their different iconographic traditions.
@@mayallbeone9047 You created a version that is much easier to listen to, as the breaks are very noticeable in the other, thank you for your effort.
However, your aim is anathema, What is there to unite over? We don't agree doctrinally, (Filoque, Immaculate conception, Papal infallibility etc) and Orthodox Christians (insofar as they're worthy of the name) intend to keep to the faith that has been handed down to them (Read 2 John, it's only one page). You cite a council, then use images that didn't exist at the time. You would have a point if all the images you used were in common use well before 787 (as problems take time to ferment before a council is called). You cannot expect the holy Fathers to be clairvoyant enough to condemn imagery made centuries after their time, no more than you can censure the Fathers of the First Ecumenical council for not having the foresight to elaborate on the Holy Spirit.
So please rethink your aim, It's a slap in the face to all the martyrs/confessors of the truth to say "Oh dogmatic differences don't matter anymore, and you suffered in vain".
If you want to understand why Renaissance art is not church art, here's a good place to start.

@@Mike-tq2jh there's also no later council condemning Western art tradition. You're right, it can take a bit for something to get addressed by a council. But this never WAS
And as for unity, we aren't separated by as much as some Catholics and some Orthodox make it out to be. If i remember correctly, Orthodox had a council some time ago in which they affirmed a certain understanding of the Filioque, and as for our Marian doctrines and those on Original Sin, the only division there is ones people make in their own minds. The only thing that is truly preventing communion is the Papacy and hatred that goes both way. If we get rid of the hatred, we can then work on the papacy problem, but not before. Hatred is what's keeping this schism alive, or more fitting, our union dead
@@mayallbeone9047
Yes, hatred of false doctrine is what keeps us apart. May this hatred be strengthened forever. Because the desire to make distinction comes from love of the truth.
We can agree that a very specific interpretation of the Filioque is acceptable to Orthodox (proceeds temporally only) But that interpretation is not what the Roman Catholic church believes, so it's fruitless to discuss, as I believe continuing this further wouldn't be of any use.
Satan is the god of confusion, don't serve him by trying to muddy waters.
It irritates me that Eastern Catholics have these chants and overall took our traditions with them to Rome, but at the same time, it’s fitting that it adds chaos to the Roman Catholic Church since most of the theology is separate from the Latin rite. You guys can have chants like this and at the same time celebrate the Eucharist while doing the chicken dance.
☦️☦️☦️
@@roflingsteaks doesn't seem to cause chaos to me 🤔 would you say the same thing about different orthodox churches not recognizing the baptisms and chrismations of other Orthodox churches? And what about ordained women as deacons?
Your rambling is incoherent. Chicken dance?
I really don't like Latin iconography. It's weird.
I believe that Our Lady does not mind.
