洁贞颂

洁贞颂 (希腊语：Ἁγνὴ Παρθένε；罗马化：Agni Parthene；英语：O Virgin Pure) 是埃伊纳的奈科塔里所作的一首献给圣母的非礼仪式赞美诗，来自《献予诞神女的赞美诗之书》(Theotokarion)。
东正教会有时会在晚祷开始时吟唱这首圣诗，或是在敬礼十架期间，于事奉圣礼结束后吟唱。

**希腊语原文，音译和旋律标记**
这篇圣咏可分为四节 (S = 1, 2, 3, 4)，每一节再分为三个曲调 (T = A, B, C)，其中每个曲调唱两次 (重复 I = α, β)。

**奈科塔里的诗**
奈科塔里于19 世纪末被任命为主教。在担任主教期间，他花了很多时间祈祷和沉思，并致力于修道生活。他精神上的生活方式，以及他对圣母玛利亚的特殊奉献，激励他创作了各种各样的宗教诗歌，其中大部分都是在他生前和 1920 年去世后出版的。

他所写的众多诗歌之一即为该诗。根据埃伊纳岛流传下来的传统，据说奈科塔里在梦中看到圣母的幻象后，写下了这首诗的文本，圣母请他记录这首诗。这首诗的写作风格与正典很相似，它有九首颂歌。原始脚本仍然可以在他修道院卧室的祈祷桌上看到。
后来，它作为一首诗歌赞美诗发表在他 1905 年出版的《圣母颂歌与赞美诗》(Θεοτοκάριον μικρόν)中，供非礼拜仪式使用和私人教化，其中还收录了许多其他类似的诗歌。此外，希腊阿索斯山的西满岩修道院将诗歌中的部分诗句（包括副歌）配上了音乐，修道院将这部作品发表在一本名为《Ψαλτήριον Τερπνὸν》（ Psaltirion Terpnon，意为“愉悦的诗篇”）的书中。

**音乐**
这首赞美诗最初由西满岩修道院一名叫做国瑞（Γρηγόριος，罗马化：Grigórios）的修士于 1970 年代谱曲。他在圣诞节期间前往耶路撒冷朝圣，偶然听到西方合唱团用《绿袖子》的曲调演唱《是何婴孩》。他被这首歌吸引住了，发现它符合奈科塔里诗歌的歌词。他根据奈科塔里的诗歌改编了旋律，这首歌迅速传遍了东正教世界。
这首赞美诗被翻译成多种语言。它在希腊最常作为音乐会曲目演奏，在美国各地的教区中，它也是礼拜仪式结束后的退场赞美诗，尤其是献给圣母的仪式，例如四旬期的下座圣歌。
其受欢迎程度的激增归因于奈科塔里成为了一位受欢迎的现代圣人。
将这首赞美诗用作圣体赞美诗和晚祷仪式的开场赞美诗一直存在争议。然而，国瑞和他在西满岩修道院的修士弟兄们澄清说，虽然这首赞美诗很受欢迎，但它从未打算用于礼拜仪式，而只是作为一首非礼拜仪式的宗教歌曲来唱，用于个人的教化。

O Virgin Pure
Plagal First Tone (Tone 5)

Refrain: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos
O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy
More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens
Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels.
Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun's light
More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav'nly armies.
Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride! 
O Ever Virgin Mary/ of all the world, the Lady
O bride all pure, immaculate/ O Lady Panagia
O Mary bride and Queen of all/ our cause of jubilation
Majestic maiden, Queen of all/ O our most holy Mother
More hon'rable than Cherubim/ beyond compare more glorious
than immaterial Seraphim/ and greater than angelic thrones.
Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!
Rejoice, O song of Cherubim/ Rejoice, O hymn of angels
Rejoice, O ode of Seraphim/ the joy of the archangels
Rejoice, O peace and happiness/ the harbor of salvation
O sacred chamber of the Word/ flow'r of incorruption
Rejoice, delightful paradise/ of blessed life eternal
Rejoice, O wood and tree of life/ the fount of immortality.
Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!
I supplicate you, Lady/ now do I call upon you
And I beseech you, Queen of all/ I beg of you your favor
Majestic maiden, spotless one/ O Lady Panagia
I call upon you fervently/ O sacred, hallowed temple
Assist me and deliver me/ protect me from the enemy
And make me an inheritor/ of blessed life eternal.
Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!
