Feast of the Immaculate Conception by St. Anna of the Most Holy Theotokos, December 9, 2020.    According to Byzantine Tradition the Prayer Rule of the Theotokos (150 Hail Mary's separated into decades by recitation of Our Fathers, while meditating on the life of the Theotokos) was prayed in the East as far back as the 6th century.  Upon entering into Reunion with Rome, the Ruthenian (modern day Ukrainian Greek Catholic) Church rediscovered this ancient Eastern devotion through it's Western form, the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  This devotion was particularly spread in Western Canada by the workings of the first ever Byzantine Redemptorist missionary priests, who also brought with them the devotion to The Theotokos of the Passion or Our Mother of Perpetual Help icon.   In this video, The Byzantine Life family prays together the Hopeful Mysteries (Promise of a Saviour, Immaculate Conception, Nativity of Mary, Presentation in the Temple and Betrothal to St. Joseph). This 5th set of mysteries has been adapted to modern Rosary traditions with Ecclesiastical Approval.  These mysteries were part of the ancient Prayer Rule devotion and begin with short reflections from the Book of Genesis and the Protoevangelion of St. James.   F or more Byzantine faith resources go to: https://thebyzantinelife.com.    Text of "The Rosary: The Prayer Rule of the Mother of God in the Ukrainian Catholic Church" copyright of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton.

The Orthodachs Show, Ep. IX  In this episode of The Orthodachs Show, TheBadgerDad goes solo to recap  his research on the Byzantine connection to Our Lady's apparitions at Fátima and to share the canons of the Synod of Petrograd of the Russian Catholic Church of the Byzantine Rite, concluded on May 31, 1917.
