→Author of St. Mary of Egypt's Hagiography
:Right, St. Andrew wrote the Troparia for St. Mary, but that's not hagiography. Hagiography is, from my understanding, the written life of a saint, which, in this case, was written by St. Sophronius—at least, from every indication I've seen. I am glad to be proven wrong, however. --[[User:Coderforchrist|Coderforchrist]] 16:27, April 7, 2009 (UTC)
::Hi, you might be right about the Hagiography, I am not qualified to answet that, however, just from my growth in the orthodox church I have come to understand that the words in Liturgical services are accepted as inspired by God. As such, when I here Troparia or Kontakia or poems written about Saints and accepted by the Holy Spirit into the liturgical worship of the church - I see the information as factual. So forgive my explanation above .. to me, if its in the Canon its equal to Hagiography in its describing the life of the Saint! [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 23:59, April 7, 2009 (UTC)
::: Vasiliki, the question is not so much one of truth, fact, falsehood, etc., but of genre.
::: [[User:Coderforchrist|Coderforchrist]], I think you're right. Feel free to edit the article accordingly. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
