Has anyone seen this book from the Melkite Patriarchate? Akathist, Hymn to the Mother Of God [pgc-lb.org]. It was released a couple years ago at Christmas.

The idea, says Ms Hage-Chahine was to present a sample of the iconographic heritage of the Melkite Church, and we thought: what better way had we to do if not to be used as illustration of liturgical heritage? In fact, the Akathistos is prayer for mounting the largest selection of icons: Annunciation, Temptation of St. Joseph, Nativity, Presentation, Flight into Egypt, Holy Innocents, Adoration of the Magi, Adoration of the Shepherds, Resurrection, Transfiguration, Christ Emmanuel, the protective Virgin, monks and religious and many others.
