Article 2 THE WAY OF PRAYER
2678
Medieval
piety in the West developed the prayer of the rosary as a popular substitute
for the Liturgy of the Hours. In the East, the litany called the Akathistos and
the Paraclesis remained closer to the choral office in the Byzantine churches,
while the Armenian, Coptic, and Syriac traditions preferred popular hymns and
songs to the Mother of God. But in the Ave Maria, the theotokia, the hymns of
St. Ephrem or St. Gregory of Narek, the tradition of prayer is basically the
same.
