[Disclaimer: the channel doesn’t support any political ideology. The video was uploaded for educational and informative purposes.

It was written around the aftermath of the First Siege of Constantinople in 674 where the Arab invaders have been successfully repelled. The successes of the Byzantine Empire was then attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known in the Greek Church as the “Theotokos“ (“God-bearer“), of which the entire song is dedicated to. ______________ Lyrics: Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ τὰ νικητήρια, ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια, ἀναγράφω σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε. Ἀλλ’ ὡς ἔχουσα τὸ κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον, ἐκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον, ἵνα κράζω σοι, Χαῖρε, Νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε!!!
