Theotokos, through Thee was revealed to us on earth, the Mystery, which was hidden from Eternity, and which the Angels themselves knew not: that God, uniting Natures without confusion, became Man and accepted crucifixion voluntarily for our Salvation; by virtue of which Resurrecting mankind whom He had first created, He Saved our souls from Death.

Theotokos: for through Him Who became Incarnate of Thee, Hades is held captive, Adam is recalled from the dead, the Curse is made void, Eve is set free, Death is slain, and we have been endowed with Life. Wherefore we cry aloud, extolling in song: Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, in Whose Sight it is thus wellpleasing. Glory to Thee!

And eating from the Tree has estranged me from the Paradise of Delight. Woe is me! For I cannot bear the disgrace! Once the King of all Gods Creation, I am now a hostage because of one piece of illicit advice; and although once Vested with the Glory of Immortality, as mortal, I now lamentably carry about the skin of deadness.
