On Friday, April 12, 2024, His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America celebrated the Fourth Salutations to the Theotokos at Saints George and Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in New York City.

“I am so very pleased to be with you for this Fourth Stanza of the Salutations to the All-Holy Theotokos. We, who are Her children, know to cry to her in the hour of our greatest need. The Akathist Hymn is more than her praises, or the story of her Annunciation and the Nativity of our Lord. The Akathist Hymn is a plea for help in the face of dangers and difficulties” His Eminence remarked in his Homily.
