(See the reference to Greek Orthodox Hymn, below).

“Agni Parthene”, rendered “O, Virgin Pure”, is a Greek Marian Hymn composed by Saint Nectarios of Aegina in the Late-19th-Century, first published in Print in his “Theotokarion”.

In Orthodox Churches, it is considered “Para-Liturgical”, and, therefore, only to be used outside of Liturgical Services. Though it is often performed by some Choirs as a Recessional, after the conclusion of The Divine Liturgy during the Veneration of The Cross and receiving of Anti-Doron.

Performed by: Petros Gaitanos/ Πέτρος Γαϊτάνος.
