Irmos: All things are filled with awe at thy divine glory; for thou, O Virgin who hast not known wedlock, didst contain within thy womb Him Who is God over all, and gavest birth to the timeless Son, granting peace unto all who hymn thee.
The man was filled with awe by the marvelous wonder as he beheld a miracle when the tablet of stone was graven and Gabriel, the glorious and honorable supreme commander who was conversing with him, vanished.
When the elder returned to his kellion in the morning, and heard these strange tidings and beheld the stone tablet which had been engraved by the archangel’s hand, with his disciple he straightway bore it to the superiors of the Mountain.
These miracles are well known to all, O Virgin, for the superiors of the Mountain solemnly dispatched the stone tablet immediately to the Imperial City, that all may glorify thee.
All hastened to the lowly habitation wherein the strange wonder took place, and to thine icon before which the hymn was chanted, O most pure one; and, reverently bowing down, they unanimously decreed that it be kept in the Protaton.
