The Fifth International Symposium
"Tradition of Theotokos' Adoration in Orthodox Church"
Tbilisi, May
Many ecclesiastical as well as secular scientists
study historic, theological, hymnographical questions and the issues of ecclesiastical
art and writing connected with Theotokos in Orthodox Church.
International Symposium - "Tradition
of Theotokos' Adoration in Orthodox Church" - is planned to be held in Tbilisi in May (presumably
12-19 May), 2014 with the blessing
of His Holiness and Beatitude the
Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Archbishop of Mtskheta-Tbilisi and
Metropolitan of Bichvinta and Tskhum-Abkhazia - Ilia II.
For centuries there have been
many cases of visions and miracles connected with Saint Mary Theotokos Mother
Of God in our churches, monasteries and on the sacred places; many
wonder-worker icons of Mother of God were revealed.
We think that interchange of our
churches' experience connected with adoration of Saint Mary Theotokos Mother of
God will enrich us informatively as well as spiritually.
According
to the Symposium Program, it is planned to visit and see the robe of Theotokos
and other clearness and saint places connected with Mother of God.
Please confirm us your participation in the Symposium
and send us a presumable title of your report during a month.
Deadline of sending your papers is 30 October, 2013.
Symposium languages are: Georgian, Greek, Russian and
English.

sent via e-mail to the Organizing Committee no later than November 1, 2013.
