On the Feast of the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple

Hieromonk Ioannikios

Written for the temple dedicated to the Entrance of the Theotokos in West Virginia, reprinted from Living Orthodoxy, this brief homily addresses the role of the Theotokos in God's plan for our salvation, and the hidden, interior character of her love, springing from the Psalm: "All the beauty of the Queen is within."
