Question

A feast dedicated to the “protections” of this person allegedly began after Andrew the Fool had a vision of this person that saved Constantinople from invasion by the Rus’ (“roose”). In Eastern Orthodoxy, the Nativity Fast is relaxed on the day of a feast dedicated to the “presentation” of this person. Odysseas Elytis (“eh-LEET-iss”) took the title of his poem Axion Esti from a set of hymns dedicated to this person, who is referred to by the Greek term panagia. A key tenet of Nestorianism rejected at the (10[1])Council of Ephesus involved his disuse of a term referring to this person, (10[1])the speaker of the Magnificat (10[1])hymn. (10[2])Eastern Orthodoxy gives this person the title of “God-bearer,” or Theotokos. (10[1])For 10 points, name this woman venerated in Eastern Christianity as the mother of Jesus. ■END■

ANSWER: Mary [or Mary, mother of Jesus; or Virgin Mary; or Madonna; accept Theotokos until read; accept Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; accept Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos until “Theotokos” is read; accept Intercession of the Theotokos until “Theotokos” is read]
