"In the Orthodox Faith, we give Mary her just due when we venerate her with love and gratitude. She is not God. She is not our Savior. But she is that righteous, blessed woman through whom the Son of God entered the world, becoming Man. She is the one who willingly said "Yes!" to God, so that the rejecting "No!" that had resounded within the human race since the Fall might be forever silenced. She is the Mother of God. (Theotokos) He chose her to be the one who bore Him. In all the universe, in all of Heaven, there is none other like her.
Indeed, all generation shall call her Blessed!"
(Thirsting for God in a land of shallow wells, by Matthew Gallatin).
