New Akathist Published: To Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Defender of the Mother of God Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In honor of the great Pillar of Orthodoxy, Saint Cyril of Alexandria — the fearless champion who defended the title of the Most Holy Theotokos at the Third Ecumenical Council — we share with you the full English text of this beautiful Akathist hymn. Through his prayers and writings, Saint Cyril crushed the heresy of Nestorius and affirmed that our Lord Jesus Christ is perfect God and perfect Man, born of the Virgin Mary, truly the Mother of God. This Akathist praises his holy life, zeal for truth, miracles, and powerful intercessions, including a contemporary healing miracle. Read and pray it here:
