A blessed Feast of the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple!
Hail, from whom alone there springs the unfading Rose;
Hail, for thou hast borne the sweetly-smelling Apple.
Hail, Maiden unwedded, nosegay of the only King and preservation of the world.
Hail, Lady, treasure-house of purity, raising us from our fall;
Hail, Lily whose sweet scent is known to all the faithful;
Hail, fragrant incense and precious oil of myrrh.
(Akathist Hymn to the Most Holy Mother of God from The Lenten Triodion)
