Editing Hail Mary (section)

==Byzantine Christian use==
The Hail Mary prayer of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] and [[Byzantine Rite]] Catholic Churches is similar to the first part of the [[Latin Church]] form, with the addition of a very brief opening phrase and a short concluding phrase. It is well known and often used, though not quite as frequently as in the Western Church. It appears in several canons of prayer. It is typically sung thrice at the end of [[Vespers]] during an [[All-Night Vigil]], and occurs many times in the course of daily prayer.

The [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] text, of which those in other languages are translations, is:
{{verse translation|italicsoff=y|lang=grc|Θεοτόκε Παρθένε, χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη Μαρία, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ. εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξί, καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου, ὅτι Σωτῆρα ἔτεκες τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.<ref>[http://www.ec-patr.net/en/psaltai/danielides/index.php?what=4 Nicholas Danielides, Archon Lambadarios].</ref>
|[[Theotokos|God-bearing]] Virgin, rejoice, grace-filled Mary, the Lord with thee. Praised thou among women, and praised the fruit of thy womb, because it was the Saviour of our souls that thou borest.}}

To the Biblical texts this adds the opening invocation "Theotokos Virgin", the name "Mary", and the concluding phrase "because it was the Saviour of our souls that thou borest".

Another English rendering of the same text reads:
{{blockquote|[[Mother of God]]{{efn|{{lang|grc|[[Theotokos|Θεοτόκε]]}} literally means "God-bearer". The Greek phrase {{lang|grc|Μήτηρ Θεοῦ}}, corresponding literally to "Mother of God", appears regularly, in the abbreviated form {{lang|grc|ΜΡ ΘΥ}}, in [[icon]]s representing her.}} and Virgin, rejoice, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast given birth to the Saviour of our souls.}}

or:
{{blockquote|God-bearing (or: Theotokos) Virgin, rejoice, O Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast brought forth the Savior of our souls.}}

The first is the older, and remains in use by the [[Old Believers]] as well as those who follow the Ruthenian recension (among them the [[Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church]] and the [[Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church|Ruthenian Catholic Church]]). The second, corresponding more closely to the Greek, appeared in 1656 under the liturgical reforms of [[Patriarch Nikon]] of Moscow, and is in use by the [[Russian Orthodox Church]], the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]], the [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church]] and the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church (disambiguation)|Ukrainian Orthodox Church]].
===Romanian version===
„Născătoare de Dumnezeu, Fecioară, bucură-te! Ceea ce ești plină de har, Marie, Domnul este cu tine. Binecuvântată ești tu între femei și binecuvântat este rodul pântecelui tău, că ai născut pe Mântuitorul sufletelor noastre”.
