Would anyone have any good references for an 'average Joe' like me concerning Orthodox beliefs and practices concerning the blessed virgin Mary?

There's this. You can get it for less that $2 on Amazon. It's not a long book.

there is also Igumen Gregory Zaiens book O Full of Grace, Glory to Thee. it is also pretty short and not too pricey

I know Fr Gregory. His hermitage (not sure if that's the right designation) is not too far from me. I didn't know he was an author.

After attending the Antiochian parish I was previously a catechumen at about two years ago this morning, I came home and scanned their website and followed their link to Antiochian.org where I found a snippet of 'The veneration of Mary the birth giver of God'. I liked what I read so it's ordered and on its way.

Any relics?

Any relics?

no, unless you count the icons from Mt Athos with the rocks from Mt Athos in them
