I meant to add this, seeing as you open and close with "Ave Maria" (very nice touch, that):

Χαῖρε͵ νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε!

Ave Maria!

Yes, that is our opening and closing line. So to speak. we greet everyone and say goodbye and answer the phone with an “Ave Maria!” I’m glad you like it. It is part of general goal of spiritual renewal in the Church and in the world through Mary, honoring her and making her better known.

As for the line you gave me, I am afraid I am completely unable to appreciate it without a translation. I am an ignorant American.

By the way, I have been very impressed with your knowledge of Greek. If you’ve noticed, whenever you start bringing up Greek I dodge to a more logical/historical tact since I am completely at a loss when I see anything but Latin letters. And even these I have trouble with.

But I am dying to know what that text of your’s means.

Ave Maria!
