It is a eulogy to the intersession of God into
the cosmos as the divine-human incarnation
due to the Virgin's (unwed Mother's) voluntary
acceptance of God's grace.
The hymn is by St. John Chrysostom and

Dear Emptybill,
Extraordinary. I am grateful to you for giving me a religious experience I have
never had before. The sense of something so real, something inspired by God. I
feel I understand Russia much better now--the spirit of the Russian people. I
feel I made contact with an unknown (to
One of the odd things about paintings from this era is artists did not
draw children as they must have looked, but rather drew them with adult
proportions with some concessions to the appearance of infancy. Look how
