Talk:Panagia Blachernitissa

Is this a variation of the title "Panagia Vlacharnea"? If not, what is the distinction? —magda (talk) 16:09, February 1, 2008 (PST)

And of Vlachernae as well, I'm fairly sure yes. '-Issa' (and '-itissa') are generally suffixes to denote the feminine - like Geronta is Elder and Gerontissa is Eldress.

But - is Vlachernitissa the best term? Admittedly, I haven't seen a lot of reference in English, but I recall the founding of a monastery in America with the patronal of 'Panagia Vlachernae' - people wanting to know the history would probably go to that rather than this one. It's not enough for me to campaign or anything, but if it should change it should be earlier rather than later. — edited by Pιsτévο ^{talk complaints} at 09:51, February 14, 2008 (PST)
