Mary, dwelling place


   In the womb of her mother now begins to blossom the earth which will be the dwelling place of the Creator of the earth, the holy scepter, the new ark, the vessel of manna… the bush which was not consumed by fire, the golden candelabrum, the living bridal room of the Lord God.
--Hymn for the Feast 
of the conception of St. Anne 
(7th c.)
