Summary/Abstract: The work of the well-known theologian and spiritual father Zacharias Zacharou addresses a central theme of Orthodox theology, namely Mariology. This work, structured in three chapters, proposes a succinct synthesis of the Virgin Mary’s life from a spiritual perspective, portraying her as both the Mother of the Lord and the Mother of Our Life. The methodological approach focuses on spiritual-empirical exegesis, as Father Zacharias discovered it in the life and writings of St. Silouan the Athonite, as well as through his close communion with St. Sophrony the Athonite – two towering luminaries who shone brightly in the Church’s firmament in the past century
