Is there an Orthodox Version of the 'Hail Mary?' Yes, here it is:


Here is the Orthodox version of the Hail Mary:

Virgin Mother of God, hail, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you have given birth to the Saviour of our souls.

Here is the same Theotokion, in Slavonic and Greek:

Богородице Дево, радуйся, Благодатная Марие, Господь с тобою: благословена ты в женах и благословен Плод чрева твоего, яко Спаса родила еси душ наших.

Θεοτόκε Παρθένε, Χαῖρε κεχαριτωμένη Μαρία, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ, εὐλογημένη, σὺ ἐν γυναιξί, καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου, ὅτι Σωτῆρα ἔτεκες τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.
