Akathist of Thanksgiving

Akathist of Thanksgiving is a massive hymn of praise written by Archpriest Gregory Petrov in 1940 during the Stalinist purges and in a labour camp.   ‘Glory Be To God for Everything’ is the constant refrain in this transcendent hymn which sees the beautiful in the most apparently ugly.
