First official translation of the Akathist Hymn in Swedish

First official translation of the Akathist Hymn in Swedish

by Romfea.news

The Akathist Hymn is being translated in Swedish, for the first time.

As the Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden says in a statement, this is an offering of the sister Christodouli of the Hermitage of St. Mary Magdalene in Serres to the Metropolis of Sweden and all Scandinavia.

Also, Metropolitan Cleopas, in his letter, thanks Bishop Agathangelos of Fanari, the general director of the Publishing House of the Church of Greece, “Apostoliki Diakonia”, who edited and published this edition.

See the report of the Metropolitan of Sweden:

The Akathist Hymn Published in Swedish

The Akathist Hymn is a masterpiece of Byzantine hymnography. It was first chanted in Constantinople at the Church of Hagia Sophia as a show of infinite gratitude by the Christian faithful to the Most Holy Theotokos for saving the city from the enemies that had laid siege to it.

By the Grace of God and the blessings of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the first official translation of the Akathist Hymn in Swedish was published – an offering of the Righteous Sister Christodouli of the Hermitage of St. Mary Magdalene in Serres to the Metropolis of Sweden and all Scandinavia.

I express my deepest gratitude to Sister Christodouli for her spiritual offering to our local Church, as well as to the General Director of the Church of Greece’s Publishing House, Apostoliki Diakonia, the beloved and esteemed Right Reverend Bishop Agathangelos of Phanarion, who edited and published this bilingual edition.

We offer this publication as an expression of our many filial thanks to the Most Holy Theotokos and as a gift to the flock of the Mother Church of Constantinople in Scandinavia.

Prayerfully Yours,

† Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden
