Axion Esti with Modern Frame

Within walking distance of Karyes, the capital of Mount Athos, a priest lived with his disciple in 982 AD. One evening an old man visited the student where according to tradition was Archangel Gabriel. In the church that visited him, there was the image of the Virgin Mary and in the morning they went to sing the established oath, but the old man chanted "Axion Estin as truly beatify to the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jecus and untainted , and Mother of our God." Since then, the elder has said, "From now on, all Christians shall sing the hymn of the Virgin Mary." In saying this he became missing, while according to tradition the image of Christ on the temple of the church was moved lightning fast to the left, and the image of Theometor on the right. This arrangement is maintained until our days, in the wood-carved temple of the cell.
