& Anna were Delivered from the reproach of childlessness, and Adam and Eve from the corruption of Death, in thy Holy Nativity, O All Pure One. This do thy people celebrate, being Redeemed from the guilt of transgressions, when they cry unto thee: the Barren One gives birth to the Birth-giver of God and THE NOURISHER OF OUR LIFE! Prayer with sigh, sterile and barren, of Joachim and Anna, was well received by the Lord. It released them and the Fruit Who brought Life to the world blossomed forth. For while he offered Prayers upon the mountain, she bore reproach in the garden. But then, with Joy, the Barren One bore the Theotokos: THE NOURISHER OF OUR LIFE!
