More Spacious Than the Heavens

This post follows in line with the previous post about the communion of saints. Mary holds a very high place- suspiciously high to many Protestants- within the Orthodox Church. What I write now is a meditation upon the "Axion Estin", a hymn to Mary that can be heard in almost all Orthodox services, as well as the Megalynarion for St. Basil's Liturgy.
