Inhaltsangabe

Theodore Syncellus's sermons provide contemporary evidence for devotion to the Virgin Mary in Constantinople in the 620s, first the veneration of her miraculous Robe at her church in Blachernae, and second the central role she was believed to have played in saving the city in the Avar siege of 626.
