add Hymns to the Theotokos
Protestants who deny the ever-virginity of the Theotokos are breaking even with their own fathers in faith.
==Hymns to the Theotokos==
From the [[Divine Liturgy]] of St [[John Chrysostom]]:
:It is truly meet and right to bless you, O Theotokos,
:Ever blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
:More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim,
:Without defilement you gave birth to God the Word.
:True Theotokos, we magnify you!
From the Divine Liturgy of St. [[Basil the Great]]:
:All of creation rejoices in you, O Full of Grace,
:The assembly of Angels and the race of men.
:O Sanctified Temple and Rational Paradise! O Glory of Virgins!
:From you, God was incarnate and became a child, our God before the ages.
:He made your body into a throne, and your womb He made more spacious than the heavens.
:All of creation rejoices in you, O Full of Grace! Glory to you!
